House for Sale

[JamminR]

I'm not going to go into major detail of where it is, cost, size, etc here in a public post.
If you or anyone you know might be interested in purchase a home in the northeast TN area, please post here. I'll consider sending you a link to the listing.
I'm close to the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, less than an hour from the Smoky Mountain National park, Pigeon Forge(Dollywood!), Sevierville, Gatlinburg(Wedding chapels, Saltwater taffy!)
20 minutes away from closest lake, other lakes, dams, rivers nearby.. all good for fishing or other water sports.

If you aren't old enough to get one yourself, by all means, tell your parents. They may have friends at work.
Or perhaps might be looking for vacation home?

Job market is wide open here. I live in a technology corridor that runs from Nashville to North Carolina.

Serious interest only ask please.

25¢

[JamminR]

Like I said, if you aren't old enough (physically, OR mentally) ....

[Golden-Death]

...50¢ ?

[JamminR]

You're slowly, ever so slowly, working your way up to one square foot of my lot.

Unfortunately for you, I need to sell off all the square feet at once.

[Golden-Death]

Weeell. Too steep for my liking. I'm out.

[JamminR]

We're having our first showing Friday 8/31.
House has been on the market 13 days now.
Pictures of the house have been up since last Friday (one week)

Pray that they like what they see and make an offer we can work with.
Thanks

[JamminR]

We had a showing last Friday (mentioned in last post)
Someone scheduled for last Sunday but cancelled.
We had a showing yesterday (Wednesday)
We have a showing scheduled tomorrow (Friday).
It's scheduled the latest in the day we've seen (so far). 630 to 700pm.

Wife and I are going out on a date.

So far, all the feedback (from people through our realtor) about the house has been good.
Last Friday's showing loved the house, didn't like the neighborhood. (Though this neighborhood was built in the 90s and looks good, the only way in drives through houses built in the 70s/early 80s. Split Foyer's abound. Some are pretty scary.
Yesterday's showing loved the house and floor plan, but wanted a more level lot.
Wife and I looked at about 10 houses matching this floor plan before we got this one, because it had the best lot.

So far, we're pretty happy with the response. Just took two weeks before anyone called to look I guess. (And, honestly, one week of that had no online pics)
 I say good luck to them. Perhaps they'll be back. We were.

[Golden-Death]

If it doesn't work out, my previous offer still stands.

/wink wink

[JamminR]

Uh, thanks GD. I'll make sure to keep you (as far back as possible) in mind.

While at work today, realtor called. We have another showing tomorrow, Saturday, at 11am
Wife and I both like to stay up late, sleep in late. Not happening tomorrow morning (though, the stay up late might still)
She wants to charge them breakfast.

I just remind her that most adults over 30 don't stay up until 3am (or later) and get up at noon (or later) on the weekends.


The people that viewed the house today also viewed a house on the corner with the exact same floor plan (we passed them as we were leaving).
Competition is driving her crazy. After we put our house on the market, they dropped thier's 10k to be 10k more than ours.
It's slightly bigger, the downstairs is twice as big, because they have a connected side garage (where in mine the single car garage takes up half of the space)

We've seen the pictures of the inside though. We think the way they did the mid-level isn't that great. They made downstairs the family room, made mid level entire kitchen/dining area.
We'll see.

[JamminR]

We have a showing somewhere between 730 and 830 tonight.
In other words, they're looking at other houses.
(There are 4 others for sale in my neighborhood)

Realtor Feedback-
Friday 8/7 showing didn't show much feeling either way.
However, I was happy with the Saturday feedback.
Not as happy as I would have liked to have been, but happy none the less.
The Saturday 8/8 showing said our house was now a second choice/backup for them. They were going to make an offer on another house, and if that offer didn't go through, and ours was still available, they'd make an offer on ours.

Though I don't (normally) like wishing bad things on anyone, I hope the first offer falls flat.

_{Edit (spbogie): Fixed a grammatical mistake. (I have you covered Jam )}

How goes the house sell there Jammin? Haven't had an update in a while.

[JamminR]

No news is bad news. We had a showing Monday afternoon 9/10 while we were at work.
Unfortunately, for the wonderful run we had (6 or 7 showings in 9 days), we've had no calls or apparent interest since last monday.
We got feedback from the monday showing. They've decided to go with new construction.

Oh, and another bit of dissapointing news...the house to the left of us is going on the market.
That makes 5 houses on this street (of 7) that are for sale.
I don't mind a little competition, but . If I came to a neighborhood cul-de-sac with 5 of 7 houses for sale, and only one other for sale in the entire neighborhood....I'd ask myself "what's wrong with this street".

Not a thing wrong. We just all decided the buyers market is good for upgrading to larger/better right now it seems.

[Golden-Death]

Did you remember to add a ulx advert?

If you can get the message to play across peoples HUDs when they come in range of your neighborhood server, you'd probably get a little more interest.

[JamminR]

Haha. No advert.
I posted on the local Craigslist though.
Whole bunch of flyers around work break rooms too.
No idea if any of the viewings we've had were due to any of what I've done though.
