For Sale By Owner!

As some might already know, we decided awhile ago that we (and my mom) are ready to leave the climate, taxes and general cost of living in Connecticut and strike out for a new place to call home.  We chose Hendersonville, NC, a lovely little town outside of Ashville in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains. The plan was to tough out another winter here and put the house on the market in the spring.

During our third yard sale of the year in September, on a whim we put out a For Sale By Owner sign just to see if we got any nibbles.  Wouldn't you know, we showed it to two couples on the Monday after our sale and had a full-price cash offer on Tuesday!!!!  Miracles really can happen!

They asked us when we wanted to close and we arbitrarily said how about in 60 days, so our closing is on November 16th!

Our plan is to hang out in CT long enough to tie up any loose ends and then head to Hendersonville.  We have picked out a lovely over-55 mobile home community with an in-ground pool called Halfway Tree so that is where we will go first.  We will view any units they have available and if there is nothing to our liking, we will hit the open road and full-time it until something else opens up there.  Let the adventure of a lifetime begin!
