Reality...lunch with Kelly, an old sorority sister and realtor. As we wrapped up lunch Kelly mentioned how hot the Denver market is, suggested she look at comps for our house and to our shock and surprise, we learned we could get top dollar. Within 2 hours of lunch I had called Brian, shared this excellent news, and we called Kelly to tell her to list the house.
That was in mid April. We listed at the end of April and had multiple offers the first weekend.
We certainly did not expect this all to happen so fast so this Maternity Leave has been filled with finding a new house, packing, organizing and trying not to poke my eyeballs out from stress.
We also made a HUGE decision to move to Colorado Springs. The obvious reason is being close to family, but when we realized the money we would save in daycare coupled with the much larger house we could get for our money, it was a no brainer.
Brian and I are still in shock this dream is coming true. We hate being in this small house but thought we had a few more years here until we had the down payment we needed. But this hot Denver market changed all of that!
We found a new house but refuse to jinx myself by showing anyone it on a blog or Facebook (my main source of information!)
We move out June 5th, close on both properties on June 6th and move into the new home June 7th.
Fingers crossed every loan does what it is supposed to do or our master plan will blow up and I may actually poke my eye out!
And lastly, I do spend a lot of time cuddling this boy who is as precious as they come!
