But then this happened. And I'm wondering if this should change everything? In a nutshell, we didn't really feel that the $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers would impact our ability (or inability) to sell our house. Because generally speaking, first-time home buyers aren't shopping in the $300,000+ range.
But the extension of that program also includes a revision to include NOT first-time home buyers. And moves the income cap up to $225,000 per family.
And I'm thinking that maybe now, with those changes, it will impact our ability (or inability) to sell our house. I don't know. ???
So Tim doesn't want to pull off of the market now at the end of the month. And I don't want to be "for sale" and "showing" and maintaining at that level through the holidays. Don't. Want. To. Do. It.
Every time I start to feel good and focused and embrace a plan, the *plan* gets changed. And I have a hard time operating that way.

I'm sorry it keeps changing. I know nothing about this process but you do sound very informed and smart about it.
I had a friend who sold her house last Christmas and said it was a great time to sell, because all of the decorations made the house look great. I think I'd side with Hubby just this once.
I like your original plan. Maybe compromise by re-listing it in February rather than later in the spring.
I can't imagine December is a big month for home buying, home selling anyway.
Ugh...I got nothing. Real estate is a scary place:O Can I offer you a drink, or some chocolate?
