SOLD!

Our Dallas house is officially sold.  Closing completed today and we are now tenants in it for the next three weeks.   We had a few false starts this morning but I just got confirmation from the title company that the sale has funded.


Going to celebrate now with a nice Blue Moon although I have nobody to toast as Gwen is in San Antonio at a Hen Party  or a Bachelorette Party as the say in the States!

Dallas house is closing on 7th May

We have been under contract for about a week now but looks like the buyers are eventually committing to buying now.  The option period ends on Sunday night and they stretched it out as long as they could.   They inspected the house twice and it came out perfect on both inspections and was a strange situation where the house seemed in too good a shape.    The only thing we ended up giving up was separately selling them the the kitchen fridge for less that we wanted as they could not find any issues or anything that needed to be repaired.

So good result all round.  We probably could have gotten more for the house if we held out longer but it will be very nice not maintaining or paying for and most importantly worrying about it while living in Ireland.

So all we have left to sell are:--

Gwen's car - 2004 VW Touraeg V8 (loaded) but depreciated by three little girls over the years!
Washer (old but works great)
Dryer - Maytag (gas)
Sharp Microwave Oven - very nice Stainless steel model and quite new.
Kitchen 17" LCD TV (Samsung) (not HD but at 17" it is difficult to tell)
..and lots of small electrical appliances (toaster, blender, coffee grinders, etc...)

Anyone need anything electrical?
