      A new house is very exciting. May you have many happy years there.

          Updates: Looks like we are closing around April 13th. Our in-person visit and inspection went well. The sellers are pretty easy as they accepted nearly all of our inspection finding requests, and even are leaving a few items that are a PITA to move, like some patio furniture and a massive gun safe (5' tall). #jolly

                        Actually, I flew back to MN to do it in person @Mik but the sellers won’t be there because of covid restrictions. The sellers have been great to work with too, we got lucky in that regard.

                          We will probably move mid June. Our youngest (5 months) just got one of those head band/helmet things to fix a flat spot so we want to wait until he doesn’t look like R2D2 before we move.

                          We are listing our current home this coming Friday, 4/23.

                            I feel like that thing is very highly prescribed now.

                            One of my kids had it - a few friends of ours had it.

                            Not sure how much it actually does, TBH (since heads to round out naturally).

                            But it did help her avoid a few knocks on the noggin'

                              What’s wrong with a little flat spot?

                                Agreed that it seems much more common now.

                                    Interesting that many kids in Taiwan - the back of their head is flat because that is how they are laid out in bed when they are very little. It is not really noticeable when you have hair and does not really seem to have any effect on brain growth or how smart or dumb you are.

                                      Listed our current home on Friday, under contract by Sunday evening!

                                      We priced it aggressively (higher than it’ll appraise for), and only received one offer after 16 showings, but that one offer didn’t know they were the only offer so they bid above ask and waived inspections. Woot!

                                          That´s amazing--congrats, 89th!

                                          I cannot imagine waiting inspection when purchasing a house. Is that just the norm right now? My place is a condo that had been on the market for a few months when I found it, so an inspection was just a given.
