Swan Valley BearsWe've had our house on the market for less than 3 months. Friday, we got a good offer and SOLD ! ! ! Yay ! ! ! And, the buyer is paying cash, so no worries about the buyers having loan problems. Many homes in our community are sitting on the market for over a year. We've been praying like crazy for a buyer and the icing on the cake was that we got very close to our asking price.
The buyer has asked for a 30 day escrow which means that as of today, we have 27 days to find a home to buy, pack and move out. Even then, we'll have a 30 to 45 (or even 60) day escrow. So, we'll have to put our belongings in storage and stay in my parents' 500 sq foot apartment over their barn until we can move into a new home (wherever that might be).
FenBeary FolkPatty a huge congrats, I hope everything goes really well for you, it must have been the good bear vibes, or maybe you just have a really nice home 
JigpawsCongratulations Patty :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Swan Valley BearsThanks Sue and Janice.
We actually found a home we like. It has 5 acres, a meadow, weeping willow trees (my favorite) a little vinyard, a huge green lawn and fruit trees. It has a detached 400 sq ft office that would make a perfect studio for me and a 700 sq ft office next to the garage. I told the hubster he could make it a "man room" with his big TV, a fridge full of beer and a recliner chair (man heaven, right?). He really liked that idea. So . . . we'll see.
Patsy Lake BearsWhat a relief Patty, I hope you find something you like just as quickly
JigpawsSounds GORGEOUS Patty

Patty that is just wonderful!!!!!! :dance:
MerBear Originalsgreat news...
don't know about there but in our area if a house sells quickly and for cash they most likely are going to turn it into a grow op!
several years ago my sister was selling and she got an offer where they even wanted her to leave all her furniture behind! They didn't want people to realize there were new owners - she didn't sell to them. :crackup:

q.D.paToOtieSThat's great news Patty!!! Congrats!
Past Time BearsWow - lucky, lucky you! Wonderful news and I hope you will be able to buy the home you like. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
No! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that your house sold! Because this means you're leaving the vicinity around the Nevada City show. :(
Of course, I'm happy for you because I know it's what you wanted, but not-so-secretly and entirely selfishly, I really wish you were staying in or near Cali. It's a long drive to here, from the midwest... and I missed you once already this year when you weren't there.
But, okay, yes... congratulations. Sorta. (lol) 
Waggle BearsPatty, I didn't know you were wanting to sell your home. I was going to ask if you were moving in the same area, but Shelli's post tells me you're moving far away. The home you like sounds wonderful...but I'd give Allyn the 400 sq.ft. and I'd take the 700 sq.ft.
I'm very happy for you and especially that you sold quickly. There are so many foreclosures in the desert, it's scary. Good luck with the move.
Swan Valley BearsWe aren't moving far away. We were going to move to Tennessee but we changed our mind. I always thought I'd get my younger daughter to go with us, but since she started dating a new guy, and it looks a little serious, I'm convinced she won't be going with us. I can't leave her behind. So, we're staying in this area.
We decided not to buy the house with the beautiful grounds 
because I don't want to put up with remodeling and building (been there, done that). So, we're on the search for something else. Wish us luck on that one.
We were going to move to Tennessee but we changed our mind.
Oh goodie!! (greedy little claps)
Donna's Duin BruinsI had the same reaction as Shelli when Patty told me at the show on Sat. that the house had sold. I was happy for her, but not happy that I wouldn't get to see her. I was very happy for her when she told me that she was staying in the area. I get to keep seeing her and her great bears at the shows, yes!!!
Get out there and beat the bushes for another house!
Bear Hugs,
Donna
WHEW!!! I'm glad you aren't going to Tennessee!! I just was getting to know you at Larry Herman's show! By the way....I LOVE my bear! Just adorable! Good luck finding a house you'll just love! Bear hugs, Susie
Swan Valley BearsWe were on the prowl for a home today. I'll keep you posted.
Chaska, MinnesotaThat is great news Patty. I guess you will a busy beaver for the next month....
Swan Valley BearsWe found a home, made an offer and will enter escrow tomorrow. Yeaaaaaaaaay. We'll be able to have a quick escrow so that we can move from one house to the other and not have to put our belongings in storage. The first house we liked was tiny house, big property (5 acres). This one is big house, small property and in Yuba City, CA where it gets reeeeaaaaalllly hot in the summer. Fortunately this house has a pool to help tolerate the heat. So for now, I must get packing.
Hope to see you at the shows, Susie.
great news!
