We found out we had COVID toward the end of the week the movers arrived. While definitely mild cases, it did slow our full move out considerably. We managed to finish cleaning out the rest of the house so that the new paint and carpet could be put in. The house definitely looked better.

We were finally able to list it on May 25. Unfortunately, the housing marking had already slowed due to the rising interest rates. Over the next few weeks, we worked on cleaning in the garage, maintaining the yard, and watching as we would get a couple of showings over the weekend. This week, we lowered the price, and this morning, we received two great offers. We are now officially under contract!
We contacted the lender, and even though the rates have climbed since we first began this journey, we should still be in decent shape for our loan.
Next steps: finish cleaning out the garage and maintaining the yard and wait to see what comes back in the inspection.
For now, though, we are settled into our rental house a block away from my mother-in-law. A side benefit has been a shorter commute. I have definitely gotten used to that already.
