We Inadvertently Sold Our House

This was what WGO posted on my facebook on November 29th.  "How does one 'inadvertently' sell their house?" you might ask.  Well, WGO had been wanting to sell our house for quite some time.  In the last two years we had resided and repainted the outside of the house.  We had recarpeted and repainted the inside of the house.  Our house was looking about as good as it was going to, so it was our thought, that it would be a good time to put the house on the market.  First step was to call a real estate agent.  Considering the housing market, she advised us to wait until spring.  Second step was to contact some friends who had often said, "If you ever want to sell your house, we want to buy it." Our friends indeed were interested, but obviously needed to sell their home.  So with a prayer, they put a "for sell by owner" sign in their yard.  Over thanksgiving weekend a young couple looked at their home, expressed an interest, and offered a contract.  To make a long story short, everything fell into place and we closed on our house on February 3rd.

We  moved into a rental (owned by the real estate agent).  We purchased a 5 acre lot.  We finalized the house design.  And the basement is being dug as I write.   ....more to come.
