The woes of a buyers market...

It has happened again.

Darrin and I have been trying to sell our house for some time now, and we haven't had any luck. We've had plenty of lookers, but no offers as of yet. Still, we have tried to stay up on the market and at least have an idea of where we would like to live once we sell. We actually found a house that we both really like...but someone has beaten us to it...again.

It's really getting frustrating. Our house is still sitting here. No offers. We have made the top 3 a few times, but, inevitably, they choose another house. We have lowered the price. We have offered a home warranty. We have offered to pay some of the closing costs. Still nothing.

I have come to DESPISE the whole process of selling a home.

I know that our house isn't perfect. In fact, to be completely honest, I know it needs work. But, it is livable. We have replaced kitchen cabinets, put in new carpet, torn out old nasty carpet and replaced it with wood laminate floors, and painted. We've had person after person come to look. some leave feedback, others don't. Some feedback is helpful. Some is not.

I just wish I knew what to do to make our house sell. I mean, it's not like we are asking for a ton of money. In fact, with the market as it is, we are loosing money. We just want to be able to move on. We've put in almost 9 years at this little house, and want to upgrade to make room for more children. We are nearing the point of having our foster care license, and want to have PLENTY of room. :o)

Please pray with us. We rally want to find that perfect buyer so that we can move forward. We know that God has all of the details worked out, but sometimes it's so hard to sit and wait. Pray for us as we try to do this...patiently.
