Not much

Time that is. We reduced the price of our home to $514,900.00
Since then we have had a showing on Sat morning, then another sunday morning and the people that came yesterday are coming again today at 4. So not much time for anything but keeping the house in order!

Many of you have asked why we are selling, where we are moving etc...

Really it is all to help us eliminate some of our debt. The plan "was" to sell our home and rent a home in auburn bay for cheaper while we build custom homes in Elbow Valley and flip them (barry wanted me to oversee this). In the end we were hoping to have enough saved from our flips for a nice down payment on our next home. But ultimately we wanted to use some of our profits from selling this home to get rid of our line of credit and pay off our credit card. Mostly debt from an old business barry used to have.

But, I told Barry the other day that there was no way I could take on building custom homes right now. Not with Macy and all her appts. Plus... I think when our kids are young, our jobs as mothers is to play with them, spend time with them, take them to do fun things, teach them etc...

So, I devised a new plan and told it to Barry. He likes it!

We are thinking about selling our house for whatever we can get, living with his parents through the summer (while staying in our current ward), and building a Baywest home. There is one that is 300 sqft more than our current one with a wallkout basement and the base price is $50,000.00 less than ours. We will use the lack of a mortgage through the summer to pay off that UGLY debt we have.

I like this idea because
1. It keeps me out of a nasty rental!
2. I will for sure stay in Auburn Bay (where I love the people, Tommy wont have to switch schools and I stay in the ward)
3. I will be able to get excited about a new home! New fixtures, cabinets, tile, wood, granite... So exciting!!
