Well, I think we finally did it. Yesterday morning people came by and looked at the house, made a cash offer within 2 hrs....... seven days 'til closing..... we asked for 30 days lease back since we can't just up and move with all the animals and no place to go. Keep your fingers crossed it goes through. I'm about to start packing. Sad that we are selling it for what it sold for brand new about 6 yrs. ago and that we bought it for about $300,000 more than we're selling it for 5 yrs ago plus we put in hardwood floors, granite, tile, fenced the property, put in landscaping, hardscape, pool and won't be getting anything for that. We'll be back to square one BUT we'll be out of this HOA hell and can start getting our sanity back, hopefully with better neighbors. Bittersweet, I guess. A combination of the economy and the HOA that made it go bad for us. At least we are both well employed, have each other, the kids are good and we're getting twice as much property!
