Well, it has been two weeks since we listed the Hideout for sale and today we accepted an offer of $13,600 for it. The sale should take place on Wednesday - I hope it all works out as anticipated. We are going to meet the buyers at our bank (actually we all bank at the same place) and transfer the funds and title. We paid $22,000 for the Hideout in June of 2017 so our monthly cost of living for the 19 months we lived there was $450. Now that we have our larger home we can reduce the cost significantly by staying in it for longer.
In other news, I've written before about how much we've wanted to simplify our life and part of that was getting out of the rental business. In 2017 we sold three houses (our primary and two rentals), but we still had one rental remaining. We were talking about how much we want to be done with renting over the holiday break - but we've had an awesome tenant in the house for the past three years. In January I decided to call them and how they would feel about us selling the house. To my surprise they told me they were going to move out! So we listed the house and they started moving. In the meantime we accepted an offer. This past weekend the tenants moved out and tomorrow is the appraisal for the sale. We are scheduled to close on that house at the end of the month. It has all happened so smoothly!
I'm just so happy that in only one month all of this change has taken place and everything has fallen into place. Life is very good.
