After three weekends and several weeknights of work, 506 Ryan Road was ready to go on the market. We got the carpet cleaned and the outside power washed, but Zac did the rest (in hindsight, he had wished we'd hired a cleaning crew rather than doing it all himself).
It was open for showings on Friday and Saturday, there was an open house on Sunday, and all offers were due by 6pm on Monday night.
On the first day, we got an offer at asking price. Over the next three days, we got a total of 10 offers that kept going higher and higher. It was quite amazing and wonderful. The final offer was so good that it was a no-brainer or as the real estate agent said, "a home-run" (pun probably not intended--he seemed fairly humorless). All Zac's hard work had paid off. We were so relieved, after our stressful buying experience, that at least the selling of our old place went quickly and well.
I was personally super happy because this meant that we would have enough funds to get a new car. I was tired of being stuck in traffic with a manual transmission, and our 2003 Honda Civic was getting a bit rattly and clinky, and seemed like it would be due for some major repair soon.
