The house is going on the market this weekend, so we're in the midst of some craziness getting some of the little things touched up for "picture time". We weren't going to list the house until all the work was done, but the realtor wanted to get the house on the market before Memorial Day to ensure we're in the beginning of the summer rush & more people will be looking at our house.
The nice thing about Bushkill is the proximity to Route 80 allows for all sorts of vacationing morons will be looking for a cute little house in the "country". Unlike other housing markets in the area, ours is doing well because it is nestled in a vacation area. Plus, most commuters won't look at anything past Stroudsburg because they deem that just too far to drive into NYC or NJ. Don't believe me, just talk to some local realtors.
The living room & dining room have been dry walled & painted. Our house is actually resembling a home! I'm being picky about some things, which I think is making Joe a little nuts. I was talking to Lauren about it & she thinks that I'm looking too much into things with the house. I suppose she is right. You watch all those house shows on TLC or HGTV & they make you think that you're house has to be as perfect as a new construction... but what I need to remember is that Joe & I bought this house when it was ugly inside, now that it's pretty, someone will fall in love with it. There is a buyer out there for any home, especially in our price range.
Well, wish us luck!
