We officially have an offer! It's $15,000 less than the asking price, but it's an offer none the less.
Yesterday's open house was a flop. In the two hour time period, we had two people go through. TWO.
We had a showing Friday morning and that is where the offer is coming from.
Fingers crossed that something actually starts happening with the sale of the house.

45 Days...
45 days. Our house has been on the market for 45 days without one offer. To say we're frustrated is an understatement. It has been a constant roller coaster of emotion for this last month and a half. We've had 5 or 6 open houses, tons of showings; and yet nothing has come of it. I honestly don't know how much longer I can do this.
There are some positives in this whole thing.
1. My house is always relatively clean. It take under 40 min to clean the whole thing for a showing or open house. Although, any sort of a mess looks 20 times worse than it is because of how much we decluttered and purged.
2. My kids don't complain about doing their chores anymore because of how quickly they can get them done now. Say what? Something is easier and quicker to clean if you just keep it clean?? I had NO idea.
3. My house feels more peaceful and zen this way. Stuff was taking center stage in our lives and home and it was super stressful. Everything now has a place & a purpose. Love people not things.
4. Believe it or not, (I'm talking to me), I feel like I'm learning to be more patient and to find the positives in life more. Don't get me wrong; I can still pity party like no tomorrow, but I'm trying to be more mindful and pull myself out of it quicker. Some days are bette than others.
We have another open house today. Fingers crossed that the people that are supposed to start their next chapter in life in this home find it.
