the one


How often have you used the phrase "the one" in your lifetime? Is he the one? Is she the one? Is this the one? On Tuesday my husband received a phone call that someone was interested in looking at our house...could this be the one? Unfortunately, I already have the answer and know that our house is not "the one" for the investors who saw our property. Trying to sell your house in this economy is a roller coaster of emotions from one moment to the next: you're up when Central Listings leaves a voicemail saying there's an agent who wants to show your house; you're down when the feedback from your realtor comes back as "thanks but no thanks."

Since re-listing our house on June 1st, yesterday's showing was the first glimmer of interest we've had. Considering we only had a handful of people look at the house the entire year it was on the market previously, I don't know how many chances we'll have this time around. At this point, the only "one" I'm worried about is the number of one dollar bills that appear in our checking account after the sale, and I guess one is better than none.
