Dallas House is Sold

We closed today on the Dallas house. It was a good run and an expensive lesson in property ownership. We can finally say we are done with Dallas and face news lives in Austin. Zoe changed rooms yesterday and today is election day. A day of changes!

Maybe to emphasize why we wanted to move, or maybe just out of coincidence, I got this email today from the old Dallas neighborhood crime watch:


ALERT: Be aware that the following incidents have taken place in our neighborhood in the past few days:

DOOR KNOCKING: 2 residents on Rambling had someone knocking on their doors between 4 - 4:30 A.M. on Saturday, Nov 1st. These may have been attempted burglaries.

GUNSHOTS: We are once again experiencing an increase in hearing gunshots. Please try to isolate the area where the shots are coming from and report those to 9-1-1 immediately.

TAGGING: 2 residents on Rambling had their garage doors tagged (marked with graffiti) on Monday, Nov 3rd.

We are all bogged down with news of the economy and elections. Don't lose sight of the progress our Neighborhood Association has made in our community and the security we can provide for our families, neighbors and property.

Under Contract

It's official. They want us out by November. Woot!

Send Us Mojo

I don't want to brag, but I guess my blog is kind of a big deal. The potential buyer MUST have read my post yesterday because late in the day we heard from our realtor that they withdrew their bid on the other house and plan to make an offer on ours sometime today.

So, if you read this, send us mojo!

Second Place?

Word from our Dallas realtor is that someone was very serious about our house. Upon further investigation, she discovered it was their second choice. Apparently, the buyer is going to try to work out a price on another house first. IF that falls through, they will come to us.

So close, yet so far. A perfect birthday present would a bid on our Dallas house.
