I have decided....

January 20th, 2010 at 02:22 pm

I have decided to put the house on the market. I was really sure and confident yesterday. Today I am scared. What if I sell the house and can't get financed for another one? What if I sell the house and can't find a place to live where our four-legged family members are welcome? What if I sell and I end up paying more to live somewhere else? All these what ifs creeped into my head last night. There are a bunch of credits that I can use toward another house, and my credit score has come up almost 50 points since June. I am almost out of the "poor" category and into the "fair" category.

But I am so unhappy where I am at. I don't like living so far out of town. I don't need all the land. It just collects junk...which my soon to be ex left for me to deal with!

I have alot of work ahead of me. Have to get the house cleaned up and the yard. The yard is going to be the hardest. I have wanted to move for a long time. Just wish it wasn't such a scary thing for me to do.

    I think that as scary as it might seem right now (and overwhelming etc) it sounds like it is the right move for you. A new place with a new start. I'm sorry your X left you with a mess to deal with. Do a little at a time and you'll see progress. I think you are making the right decision.

    Can you go to the bank to get pre-approved for a new mortgage? That might ease your worries.

    I agree...it sounds like a good decision. I think things will turn out better than you think. Stay positive and focus on it turning out just right, even when it doesn't look that way.

    Thank you guys for the support! I feel better now...I talked with the lady I am going to list it with and she eased my major fear. She said before we list it, we make sure to get prequalified and talk to lenders so I won't be stuck out there. I had concerns about that since I have a mortgage, but she said that you talk to as many lenders as possible and something will happen. Getting excited again!

    You will be fine. Take the steps that you need to take to take. And, God will handle the rest. If it takes you a while to buy again.. that's OK too. One step at a time.
