Advice?

I hope that everybody had a great Valentine's Day. Love to you all :)

Last night was interesting/fun. Matt and I went to China Blue for the Mix 106 Couples and Kate Valentines Day Party. Dinner was catered through H&M, and there were a lot of prizes, etc going on. We had yummy mimosas and dancing, it was a good time. Initially I had a bad impression, because they seemed to throw the guest list out the door and let everyone in, so there was trouble finding seats at first, but we managed to snag a table and get settled in, and had a good time. Plus, after they cleared the dinner tables from the dance floor and turned up the music, who needed seats? :P

Tomorrow I'm getting a chocolate facial. Sounds good to me ;)

I'm really antsy about seeing the condo on Sunday. I hope we like it and are able to get it. The housing market sucks for sellers right now, so I'm not sure how long it would take to sell my current house....but it's fully paid off, so it's not like we'd have to pay mortgages at once, that one could just sit until it sells.

Cross your fingers for me.

I bought it brand new at 79,000 and I just noticed someone that lives down the street from me, in a two bedroom one bathroom (I'm in a three bedroom two bathroom) is now selling their's "priced to sell" at 124,000. I'm considering doing mine for 99,000 just to sell it quick. What do you guys think? Nobody is really buying houses right now...is it better to cut the price and take a sale, or try to sell it on par or a bit more for the "priced to sell" at 124,000? Maybe start it out high, and then drop it if it doesn't move? I'd like to just sell it, if I can just sell it.

I'd say start high, especially if a smaller one is on sale for higher than that. I'm sure online you can find out how much houses near you have sold for recently, if you can find out that would help. But don't lose out too much - you may as well get what you can for it which would help you be more comfortable in the future. Maybe start high and then bring the price down if there doesn't seem to be any interest.

Good luck!
