We got an offer on our house in Beverly. It is bursting my bubble here, the calm contentment I have been enjoying. An offer is a great thing. It is the first serious offer (we had two that were very low) and from someone who loves the house. We have made a counteroffer, which may or may not be accepted. If it is accepted, it will be contingent on them finding a buyer for their house. It happened late in the day yesterday and I did manage to sleep pretty well, but now I am all kerfluffled (or whatever that word is I'm looking for).
If the counteroffer is accepted, we will have a month or two to empty our house. Then the question is, move everything into storage or buy another house. If we want to buy, we will need to visit to see the house "in person." So, arrange for a trip, make a decision about buying a house (offer, financing, etc.), arrange for movers. With the possibility that everything could fall apart or have issues along the way. And T, having made the move to live on her own, will need to figure out where to move. It's possible that we will buy a house with a place for her to stay, but not necessarily part of the decision-making process.
At the moment, though, it is a waiting game. And we will do what we always do: take it one step at a time. Look for flights, look for movers, look for houses.
