Okay, steady now....we met and talked to a realtor today. I am excited, anxious, nervous and excited! Another step towards freedom. We have to do some minor fixes to the S&B. I guess I dread the house selling process, but at least we have our new house in the driveway I don't know, I guess I just want it to sell and pray that it will in this market. I realized I can not focus on money we can clear from the sale- the important thing is that is sells.
Happy Journey's Dreamers!

NICE!!! You guys are just ahead if us in every step :) I am hearing lots of good things about the housing market. With interest rates still low houses are selling. One piece of advice...my in-laws had their dream retirement plans all in place all they had to do was sell their house. Unfortunately they were choosy on the offers and eventually it all fell apart. Lee and I are taking the first reasonable offer. You can always make more money you know. Good luck to you and keep us up to date

Trace - yes, the realtor said interest rates are still down. We will take the first reasonable offer too - and we are trying to accept the worse case scenario. I guess I was relying on the 'nest egg' thing - and you are so right, we will make more money because we will still work. What an adjustment in thinking! I wouldn't give up this journey for anything :)
Thank you byseaandbyland for the good thoughts.
Let the games begin!

I dreaded it too. What we did was let the realtor and inspector dictate what needed to be fixed or repaired. It was way less painless than I thought it would be. It also let us know what buyers were looking for.

Congratulations! You are right where we are. Thursday we talked to an auctioneer, yesterday the real estate agent came out, and today I got an email from him with an idea of what he would list the place for.

Thanks Sherry!
So what is the prevailing wisdom on getting a pre-appraisal? We will get the pre-inspection done.
