My Old House is Empty now
July 10, 2008The people who bought our last house here in Holland moved out this past weekend. I wonder where they moved to and why.
They haven’t sold it yet and it is now listed $4500 less than the price we sold it to them four years ago. How ironic that it is exactly in our price range for our future home. I feel badly for them that they will be losing money but I only hope they have a reason to move now rather waiting for the market to rebound.
It is funny to look at the pictures on the listing and see much of what we did to the house still there, except some paint in the living room, kitchen and one bedroom. They even have the curtains and curtain rods I chose hanging from the windows.
I don’t miss my last house, in fact, I was glad to be away from it and the financial drain it was on our life, but this one I actually do miss, despite its one tiny bathroom and eat-in kitchen. It was a good house.
It is such a huge what if for me. Where would we be if we hadn’t moved out? Would we still have made the decision to switch adopton agencies, which landed us in a whirlwind placement? Would some of the other things that have happened in the last four years still have happened- financially, personally? It isn’t worth dwelling on but I am sometimes curious….
