Selling our house privately as we need every dollar out of it for the down payment on the new place.
Chucked a listing up on realtor.ca just to give it some more exposure, then had a realtor call and ask if she could show it. Told her we weren't really interested, as we can't afford the $15k or so commission it'd be, but she agreed to drop that to $5k if it sold, so we said sure, but our price will have to go up $5k to accommodate as we're priced below market for a reason.
Anyway, she had some people that wanted to be located further north than we are, so we said well don't bother if they don't like the location, but she insisted that they REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to see our house, so we agreed.
They were supposed to come last weekend but canceled last minute (after we'd spent the weekend cleaning), then they were supposed to come last Wednesday...canceled again.
Finally, they said they'd come look for sure on Sunday. So my wife and I spent all Friday night and all day Saturday cleaning up the yard as well as the inside of the house. +24 out and we're stuck doing chores.
Anyway, they finally show up on Sunday but decided that they don't even want to look at it because it's not the location they want. They want to be further north :angry2:
