Anyone interested in a 1915 Craftsman Style Bungalow???

So Dave and I put our house on the market a little over two weeks ago. We absolutely love our house, but
  1. it turns out that babies take up a lot more room than we originally thought (and Liam hasn’t even really started playing with toys yet),
  2. we figured we might as well put it up for sale while we’re not in a position where we HAVE to move (which gives us some bargaining power),
  3. there are a lot of first time home buyers out there scrambling to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit before the December 1 expiration date, which may help us sell the house, and
  4. Dave is a realtor, so it’s relatively easy for us to put it on the market.

Our house

We’ve had a lot of people come through and several interested parties, but no offers on it yet. As such, I have ordered a St. Joseph statue to bury in our front yard. Never heard of this? Click here to read about the theory behind St. Joseph and selling a home. If nothing else, it’s fun to bury things in one’s yard.

  1. I love your house! Ours is a 1914 Craftsman style bungalow, who knew we had something so cool in common! :) If we were moving to Omaha, you know I'd be all over it! Let me know if/when you ever come back to Kansas, we need to meet up and have a playdate!

  2. Good luck with selling it. Have you found anything you're interested in, or are you waiting until yours sells? Can't wait to see you in a month!!
