It has been eight days since we signed the papers. We have had more then a half dozen realtors bringing clients through the house. MLS (Multiple Listing Service) viewing day was last Wednesday and twenty plus agents left their cards. No offers as yet. I somewhat disappointed. I thought we would have been done with the showing part by now. This is such a great house and fabulous neighborhood, I figured it would go quickly. Patience, my son, patience.
"Ok. Grant me patience, Oh Lord, but could you give it to me right now? "
Yesterday was spent with more packing. I bought some more packing boxes from a gal in Springfield so I believe we will be ok now. I saved the box that the Lighthouse dishes came in so that was easy. The glass pitchers were a challenge to wrap. We will need to purchase a third roll of bubble wrap at Costco before this is over.
Thursday I rented a 6 x 12 enclosed trailer from U-Haul and we loaded it to the gullets and took it up to Canby where we rented a storage unit. The unit is 12 x 30 so it is big enough to put our whole household goods in if we do not find a house before we head down to South Lake Tahoe the middle of May.
Today, we are going up north again to look at a house that came on the market this past Thursday. The realty market has picked up in the Portland area and the good houses come and go rapidly, so you have to go see them quickly when one comes along that has the features you are looking for. This one has some, but our realtor says that it is so cute and well maintained that it is worth a look. The Prius will be taking as many boxes as it can hold at the same time. More up north mean less in this garage to move later.
Sunday is an Open House here at the house. We will not be here! R made chocolate chip cookies to have out for visitors to enjoy. Unfortunately, it is a typical rainy April week-end. hopefully we will get a call from our realtor afterword.
