I'm thinking of selling my house. I've thought about it off and on, but figured it would be hard to sell, especially with the current market. Well we were at a wedding the other day and my wife mentioned that we were thinking of downsizing at some point. Now we have someone that seams very interested. We have had people in the past that said if we would sell, that they would be interested, but didn't really put much stock in it.
The one interested is a local school principle and his wife is a Dentist, so I am pretty sure they have the means. They came over and looked it over and I told them what I would have to have. They said just let them know, they were not in a hurry, but were ready. They were thinking of building, but wanted a large lot and can't find one, I have a little over 2 acres in town, I built in 2001.
So now I have to make a decision, the plus is I wouldn't have to move, we have a large yard and the neighbors we have are nice. We have farm fields across the street and to the south of my property. Im on the very edge of town.
The negatives about the house is its bigger than we need, about 3000sq.ft. And its a two story and I'm sure at some point a ranch would be nice. While taking care of the yard is no problem now, it is a lot of yard.
So now we need to make a decision. One problem we have is if we sell we are not sure where we want to move to. We have thought about just buying a fifth wheel and taking off for 6 months or more and trying that out. Or buying a smaller house locally, but there is nothing really holding us here, so we could move anywhere, as long as the cost of living is somewhat reasonable.
So has anyone else downsized and have any suggestions? If I sell I would want to put some money in my pocket and not spend more that 200K for a replacement.
