No place like a new home?

Things are going really good! For those of you who don't know already, Ashley and I have signed a contract on a new home. This home has served us well for the time being and it is time to upgrade. We actually have both homes on contract as I write this. We are set to close on both some time in mid June. We're hoping it happens sooner.
In the mean time, I've been making minor repairs to this and that and getting the place ready for its new owners. Plus, I need to get the swamp cooler working. That blasted thing hasn't worked right for the two years that I've lived here. There are a few other things that need work, but luckily our buyers aren't too picky. Plus the price is already lower than most in the neighborhood.
Ashley works with one of them at Red Robin. That was how we found them. It's all going smoothly as a "For Sale By Owner" deal.
Our future new house (As long as no wrenches get thrown in the gears) is sitting about two miles west of here. It's about the same size as our home right now, but it is a bit nicer with a garage and more storage. Here are some cool pictures.







We had an inspection on friday morning for our new place and everything came back great!
All we need to do is have our current mortgage co. get back to us with the payoff and title and we'll be able to close with our buyers. Shouldn't be more than a couple weeks out.

We'll keep you posted.
