Five months to go….

  • We’re closing on the house soon, and moving out of the current home even sooner.
  • Temporarily relocating a little bit south of here until the closing on the new home, moving out of here by Sept 9th.
  • Still expecting to move-in our new home around Feb 1st.
  • Construction ground-breaking doesn’t have for another few weeks… We’ll likely see something start happening towards end of September.

UPDATE/EDIT:  I had previously posted some pictures into this entry, as of today (11/6) I’m removing them, because Darcy told me I took pictures of the wrong model house when I was out snapping them.   (Awesome!)

Anyways.  We’ve seen/walked through the ACTUAL model 2705 home, and it’s still got us waiting and anxious/excited.

 

Stay tuned!

SOLD!

Well that didn’t take long.

Accepted an offer this morning to sell our current home.

Should close in next 45 days if all goes well.

The search is still on for a temporary place to live before the new Park Creek home is ready in February next year!

First Open House – Already have offers

Our agent showed our current home on Laraway Ct. this past Sunday afternoon, and we had a few visitors for such a quick offering with little heads-up notice.

Here we are the next day, and we already have multiple offers coming in via our agent.  (That’s exactly why we chose Kerin Clarkin!)

Fingers crossed – seems we may be moving a lot sooner than we expected into a temporary living arrangement!  We don’t expect this house to be on the market too much longer, either way.

Current Home Listed on MLS!

Current home has gone on MLS via our real estate agent Kerin Clarkin, and most listings have 13 pictures he’s taken of the inside and perimeter of the yard.
