Our house was on the market all of last year, 16 showings with no offers. We did some bathroom updates over the winter months and it went back up on the market yesterday. Around 2PM we got a call from the agent saying somebody was in the subdivision viewing homes for the day and saw the listing pop up and wanted to see it immediately. We agreed and the buyer was thrilled with house. By 9:30 PM we had an offer. We didn't even get the for sale sign back up yet. And they want to close by May 6th. So we could be on our way to AZ in a month!
What a difference a year makes...and a few bathroom improvements.

Your home is so gorgeous and I must thank you again for the multiple times where you have housed me amid my travels. A highlight was PK foisting upon me his Larrivee baritone, the likes of which I had never played before and when I had the worst of my ulnar hand weakness, but in "Paul Kay" studios, all turned out pretty much OK in one take! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NYTfh4c7l0 |

Well... What a difference a day makes. The buyer slipped in a contingency to review the association rules and restrictions with the option to back out if he didn't like them...
So he didn't like the no out building rule ... and bailed.
Back to square one again.... sigh...

At least around here, that particular restriction has been commonplace for at least 40 years. Virtually every home built over that period of time carries it. Makes me wonder... |

There's been a spurt of construction on the street to the ferry in Anacortes (has a great view of the island and the channel). Buying up houses then tearing them down. Two weeks ago one of the large Victorians that looked to be in pretty good shape was torn down to below the ground level. Seems like the view is worth more than the house.
Sorry to hear about the 'no sale' Paul.

Sorry to hear about the 'no sale' Paul. There are still a couple other possibles in the works. What was nice about this one was the quick closing. Would have been out of here in 5 weeks. Oh well.. |

HOAs are the stupidest thing. Well there are things stupider like electing Ds and Rs but it's high up on the stupid list.
