After 11 months on the market I think our house has finally sold! We have had a steady flow of people looking at our house all year and had our hopes crushed almost monthly it seemed as people loved our house but for various reasons didn't buy it. We love our realtor and have gotten to know her even better this year and I will miss her weekly, sometimes daily phone calls. We had a contract on the house in October but once the home inspection was done the couple backed out. The inspectors report would've scared me! Our Realtor had never heard of the company and we've been worried about the state of our roof ever since. But we finally got another offer a few weeks ago and after countering and more counter offers we accepted their offer only to worry about the home inspection. But the inspection was last Friday and not only did the home inspection go great, but the wife's father (who is a contractor) went along too and didn't find anything to scare them away. They said the house was in great shape. So we've worried for nothing the past few weeks. We will get a copy of the report today but we are planning on moving out next weekend as the closing is April 30th. We are going to put our stuff in storage down in VA beach and then take our time looking for the perfect home. We loved our first home but are very excited about what our new home will look like.

sooooooooo happy for you! i can't imagine what a great feeling this must be. have fun house-shopping! :)
Very brave flying that flag. Good for you!
that is such a beautiful house! do you have any other pictures of it (outside and inside)?
While flying the flag may be brave. It may have been the reason it took so long to sell it. To WVa that flag is like waving a red cape in front of a bull.
