Lots of Changes for the Harwoods Lately

Lots of changes are in store for the Harwoods this year. Obviously, first of all we are expanding our family to 4!!! We were very excited when we found out, but knew we needed to get a bigger house for our growing family before this little one makes it's arrival. Obviously finding houses is what I do for a living, but it has been an interesting process for us this time. The Austin market is a bit crazy that there are many people looking to buy, but not as many people looking to sell. The inventory is really low right now, which is leading to good properties going within days of being listed and usually multiple offers are involved and over asking prices. So for the last couple of months we have been watching the areas we are interested. We have checked out several much nothing really of interest was out there.

Well last week we finally found one worth pursuing. We put in an offer on Saturday and by Sunday were under contract!! Very exciting! BUT, that meant we need to get our house ready to sell and FAST! Needless to say this has been a very stressful week. We needed to do a few things to the house and we wanted to declutterize and make it in more of a "showing" mood. Well, we finally did it!! So very soon a photographer is coming over today to take pictures and as soon as we get them back, our current house is getting LISTED!!! Looks like we'll be spending our weekend at other friend's houses to avoid messing up the house with a toddler.

So be praying for us! We have the inspection for the property we are buying today. Pray that it goes well. Pray that we get our current house listed and get it under contract this weekend!!! Pray that all goes smoothly and we can close on both properties over the next 6 weeks. As I well know in this business, nothing is for sure until all parties have signed the dotted line and all funds complete, so I am cautiously excited right now for our new house.

Here is hopefully the future Harwood House!
