Yeah I've also had good experiences with the USPS, mail forwarding, holding, etc.
@Horace a tip regarding movers. No matter how good they are, I strongly suggest placing something in one of the moving boxes that transmits a GPS location. When we moved from VA to MN (we used International Van Lines, who later subcontracted to a smaller company for the actual work) said it would take 10-14 days with fine print saying it could potentially take 4 weeks. Well the fine print was correct. It took 25 days and, almost worse, as we waited, the moving company could not provide a specific location/status of our items, only that we would be notified when they are 1-2 days away. I really wish I had put a GPS item in the boxes so I could track where stuff was on a map.

Good idea, thanks 89th. Do you have suggestion for a gps tracking gadget? I've heard great things about Apple's Air Tags. Lots of TNCR posters are huge fans.
-
I don't have them but yes the apple air tag should be a perfect solution. You could test it out by going to a bar and slipping the air tag into some lady's purse. Then later she will have an absolute roaring laugh about it when you show up to her door to tell her about the test.

Today is the most important day in the march towards closing. The last contingency will be removed. It was the only contingency. The loan one. I don’t think the buyer will have issues with their loan, but my understanding is that contingencies can always be used to pull out of a deal regardless of the reason. Yesterday the buyer visited our home and spent an hour absorbing the feng shui, or something. They didn’t find anything wrong, but came back with a question about whether the seller can tell them anything about the house. That question went from her agent to my agent to me, and that was my agent’s mistake to have me answer that. I wrote about the windows in need of repair, which were identified in the inspection. My agent had gotten an estimate on that repair, which came to $1000. My agent sat on this estimate, since, by our agreement when we chose her as our listing agent, she would pay for small repairs necessary for selling. We will see how the buyer reacts to this news of a thousand dollar repair. They have today to negotiate or protest or back out. Otherwise their 20k earnest money is at risk if they want to back out. I figure if push comes to shove the two agents can pay for the repair.

Thanks 89th and jon. I guess this is happening. The contingency was removed and the buyers will sign their closing papers tomorrow. We'll sign ours maybe a week from tomorrow? Not yet decided. I thought we'd have to leave as soon as we sign. I guess I'll settle that with the title officer, who has been more forthcoming with information than our selling agent has been. We think she has approximately 50 clients too many. Ambition meets time constraints. Her sig on her emails is "and by the way, I'm never too busy for your referrals!". Au contraire.

First of all, congratulations on what seems to be a done deal.
Each time I've sold a property, the contract specifies the time at which the buyer takes possession. That time is not until s/he secures funding, and that's a closing - usually 90 days hence.
Until the funds are delivered, it's your place.
You've got time.

Good to know, thanks George.

I'm very pleased with what we were able to get out of this place. Almost the entire COVID era housing bubble bump. Though when you look at the zillow estimate chart, it's just linear if you remove short term spikes during COVID. Same can't be said for where we're buying...
The blue circle is where we listed, and the end of the line is where we sold.

It's not quite that bad...

At least Horace should be down in time for hurricane season.

Congratulations, Horace. Ours goes on the market the end of next week...more frighteningly, we're expected to close on the new one in 4 weeks time, so I'm likely to end up owning two houses for a hopefully very short period of time. I try not to lie awake at 5am thinking about this.
I was only joking

I'm looking forward to rain storms... we'll have a big back patio and a big pond back there that I think will be beautiful during the rain.

Go as cast or a boothie and we'll compare notes.

Good luck! I think it's good to get on the market asap. But a crash is not imminent. Stay away from youtube videos about the real estate market, btw.
