Sold - Again!

Just a quick note to say that we got an offer on our house today - of the full asking price!! How cool is that? They are signing the contract at 1pm tomorrow. Sweet!

Of course, this contract will be subject to building & pest inspection and finance (as they all are). We don't envisage any issues this time - these buyers have spoken to the money lenders, and
apparently it should all be ok. The estate agent has been through all the issues in the last building report already, so they know what to expect.

The only issue we have is settlement time - the standard 30 day contract will land us settling somewhere around Christmas eve - and if you think the banks and solicitors will be nice enough to settle your house when they should rightfully be out there with a glass of chardy and a couple of smoked salmon appetizers, you're kidding yourself. :-) Options are either a short contract, which would be awesome for us - let's hope they can do it) or a long contract which settles somewhere after New Year - avoiding the Christmas/New Year shutdown. It will be interesting to see what happens.

In other news, we have managed to organise getting our hands on the caravan somewhen around the 6th of December. The plan is to go up to Yeppoon for a week before Christmas and see my Aunty Mavis and Uncle Ron. It's about 8 hours drive from here, and will be a nice test for both us and the caravan. It should be good! We're staying Here.
