After a couple months of preparations, we finally got the house on the market yesterday. If you click the above link on the post's title, it will take you to the Sotheby's website. I don't plan on linking directly to the house on a public website, but if you know what my house looks like, you can find it.
We priced it on the high end of what brokers quoted us, so it will be interesting to see what shakes out. My aren't pressured to sell. If you don't get a good price, we are looking at renting the place. If we don't get a good rental, we put the whole process on hold. Alison and the kids would very likely stay there until next Spring when we try again. First, we don't necessarily want to take the kids out of school midyear, and second, would you want to move to Minnesota in January?
Simultaneous to the house sale, we are also greiving our real estate taxes. Although we have listed the house on the high end, it's nothing compared to our town assessment! That number is absurd. So on one hand we are trying to put our best foot forward to pitch the sale, and on the other we are making a pitch book to why our house is worth as little as we can justify. Fun! Grievances were due on Tuesday. We shall see...
