My fiance & I have been so on the fence when it came to whether or not my buddy and I were going to take luck of the real estate market! We love our house & the central air conditioner & the apartment & all of it, then but there are some realities that made maybe selling the locale a great idea.
Chief among those realities was the white warm real estate market… Just a handful of years ago, the real estate values just skyrocketed much as they did in other parts of the country.
But it’s never cooled off here & so my fiance & I had been going back & forth on whether or not to sell. The other reality is that my buddy and I are getting to the point where my buddy and I realized that it was just too much house. The kids are all grown & we’re even current Grandparents… Retirement is still years away but the house was getting tougher to keep up. Just the heating & cooling costs were silly for just two people, and still, my buddy and I wavered because my buddy and I knew that this was going to be a large undertaking. Thankfully, it was the Heating, Ventilation & A/C worker who settled it for us; Last Fall, the Heating, Ventilation & A/C worker came out to do the heating service like he consistently does. But this time, he told us our time was up on the old heat pump. We got nearly 30 years out of that old heat pump. This ended up being the tipping point for our decision on selling the house. We replaced the Heating, Ventilation & A/C equipment along with other renovations to our home, however and my buddy and I just listed it last week. Already, there have been offers but the realtor says those are just the start & this house is going to sell for a pile of currency.
