Thinking Positive Thoughts...

Just thought I'd post a quick update on our house showings. We continue to have a fairly steady number of showings -- it's been about 5-6 per week (sometimes two on the same day). And since those first couple that were a little frustrating, fortunately it hasn't been too bad.

Last Saturday afternoon, we had a showing (when we went to test drive Toyota trucks). The same realtor scheduled a "2nd showing" on Wednesday. We've been anxiously waiting for word one way or another since a 2nd showing obviously means you made the buyers "short list" as they narrow down their choices. The initial comment from this realtor from the first showing (there is a feedback website where the realtors post comments on each showing) was that the buyers liked the floor plan and the house showed well. A lot of people have not liked the floor plan in that the master bedroom is upstairs and it is much more common in this area to have the master downstairs and all the other bedrooms upstairs. So we were optimistic when we heard that they did like the floor plan.

We had not heard any feedback from the 2nd showing and our realtor had not been able to contact the showing realtor for feedback. Today on our way home from church, we called to check messages and there was one indicating another showing from this same realtor from 5:15-6:15pm (it was about 4:40pm at that time). That means they wanted to come back and see the house a third time! I guess that means we really made the short list (and the buyers are having a hard time deciding). So we hurried and baked our rolls and turned down the crockpot and left to go for a little Sunday drive. :-)

So now we will be anxiously waiting to hear any news the first part of this week. Of course, there is a good chance that they will not make an offer, but we are trying to think positive! :-) I will keep you updated...

P.S. This past Saturday we had another showing scheduled, so this time we went to drive the GMC Sierra trucks. Brian had also wanted to look at Fords, but we spent too long at the GMC dealership that the kids had had enough of test drives for the day. :-)
