Progress for today

July 11th, 2014 at 06:57 am

Thanks for the sympathy on my last post. It did help to blog and get some encouragement. Smile

Progress made today:
- Received promissory note. Need to haggle over a few details; hope to do that tomorrow and hopefully have the note ready by early next week to send to HUD, who needs up to a week to review.
- Decided on our bathroom color, a nearly white cool light blue.
- Taped bathroom and kitchen and applied primer.
- NT measured cabinets for where he needs to drill holes for handles.
- AS and NT each painted a door of the closet, leaving just one more.
- Got some staging accessories in the mail: shower curtain, throw pillow covers, table runner, cabinet handles.

It looks like a wreck, with all the patchy primer on the walls and newspapers lying around and everything, but we made progress. We may be able to finish the bulk of painting tomorrow. AS will tackle the girls' room and I'll try to finish at least one coat on the kitchen and bathroom. (We were running out of primer so we'll need at least two coats to cover the vivid colors.) Maybe NT can do the last closet door too. He will definitely drill all the holes for the cabinet handles.

Then, Saturday will be just boxing up stuff for storage, and doing finishing touches on painting etc.

Sunday we move some stuff out and probably get our real estate photos done.

So glad we're almost to the listing stage! I found a few more 2-bedroom listings; there are 4 active ones total right now. There's a high-end, 16th floor one listed at $175K, one that's about on par with ours on the 9th floor for $150K, and the two I mentioned before (2nd floor one, $145K, and 11th floor but crazy colors/flooring, $155K). We'll be watching closely to see if any of them sells, but I don't find the "rival" condos daunting or underpriced, so I'm hoping we're in a good position. If nothing else, we're the highest-floor 2-bedroom in our complex right now!

    I would think that the highest floors would be the most desirable since you have a nice view of the area! Good luck! Smile
