Gone in 60 seconds

Well that was quick. We put our house up on the market on Friday, and by Saturday received an offer for our asking price. We accepted the offer on Sunday and today our status changed to "Pending Inspection." The closing date is March 22, but we will be able to rent back from the new owners until April 7, if we need to.

Such a relief to get that out of the way. One less thing to worry about. And not having to worry about keeping the house spotless 24-7 is nice, too.

I definitely recommend Redfin if you ever want to sell your house. Currently they are located only in Seattle and San Francisco, but they are looking to expand to other cities in the future. The only problem we had was getting the for sale sign up in time, but other then that, things have been going smoothly. We're saving a bundle on not having to pay a commission to a listing agent.

This week will be the 4th week since our paperwork was submitted for the visas. 4-5 more weeks to go...
