Challenging.
But you know, we're up for a bit of a challenge, after all we're selling our house privately.
So, last night we tidied everything up, read the riot act to the kids about not making a mess in the morning, and hoped for the best. "To Do" lists written for the morning we went to bed hoping that the wild weather that had set in would spare us the worst.
And you know what - that's just as well because after a night of wild weather we woke up to this:
Fortunately Luck was on our side and the only "must fix" before work was re-mounting our "For Sale" sign.
The rain and wind had set in for the day so I wasn't hopeful anyone would show up...
My awesome sister, Ilana, came over to (wo)man the Open House while Mark and I went to work. She arrived armed with fruit for our empty fruit bowls and a heap of patience at what I anticipated would be a long 45 minutes...
Quite surprisingly 2 people showed up for the open house - one stayed for 20 minutes which I think is quite promising... The other asked the price but didn't stick around very long.
I suppose we'll see if anyone comes back on Saturday for a 2nd look... now that would be promising.
Meantime we've got just shy of 700 hits on the ad on realestate.com.au - and from what I've heard that's not bad for the first week on the market - a sale would be better.
In good news, interest rates have been cut today by 25 basis points and the house across the road sold prior to auction for a massive $1 437 000 (or thereabouts). It's much larger than our home, but at $500 000 less, you're getting a bargain!
If you're in Sydney, feel free to pop by for a sticky beak - the more people here during the open houses the better!
