The Moral Of The Story Is...

Merrimack County, New Hampshire has seen its share of Spring Rains. The entire State, including Concord, has had ENOUGH! The rivers are bursting and jumping their banks. The flooding has been dramatic!

Many just rebuilding from the 2006 Mothers Day Floods have been struck again

A mere 3 weeks later Concord, New Hampshire is fronting a new face........

Now what does this have to do with a Moral...or a story you may ask? OK, OK I'm getting to that.... It's the Miracle of what can be. Rains that brought pain and despair to so many in Concord, are the same rains that nourished the flowers...that now bring joy!

Now what does this have to do with Real Estate ....? Well, some of you may remember a while back my Blog about two transactions that failed. Failed because of Seller greed. (I can't reference it cause it was Members Only) anyway....The couple that had their offer returned with no Seller willingness to negotiate...has since had another offer accepted 100% and we have scheduled a Home Inspection. It's a better house, needs updating but definitely move-in and is in a MUCH better location. They are thrilled!

The other couple ...full price offer, nothing to Sell whose Seller wanted additional funds to carry an empty house! Remember them? Well...they are anticipating an offer on their house upstate and will have more to spend, on a bigger house with lower interest! We are going out to "shop" again this weekend!

It looks similar to where I grew up in Northern Ohio. Mother Nature sure is cruel until the flowers come up, isn't she? :)

Hi Joan, Wow love your flower photos! We don't have lilacs here and I miss their scents. We do have jasmine though and they are blooming now. If you don't want anymore rain, we'll sure take it. I'm happy for you and your buyers :) good job!

Joan: Great photos and I am glad that it is finally spring! I hope the rain is over -- too many people are still coping with the aftermath. I do agree that when things fall through for buyers -- the home they end up buying actually suits them better. The photos were so real that they made me sneeze! Nice photos.

Lilacs are definately a sign of New England. If you go hiking in the woods and find a stand of lilacs the chances are pretty god that there is an old foundation there and you are near the back door!

It's wonderful scenery like you show in your pictures that assure me that I will someday move away from Florida. Thanks for labeling the trees, the only one I was sure of was the Lilac.
