We accepted the offer!

May 25th, 2011 at 10:08 pm

We sold the spec house. My dh's spec houses always use to sell quickly and usually to the first couple that looks at it. This time it was no different. The first couple that looked at it offered the price we were asking. We are going to have to convert the garage into a rec room, but dh has done that before. He is the best carpenter in the world, so it will look good.
WE felt so good about it! We have not sold a spec house since 2006, so we had no idea how long this would sit on the market. (dh has been building custom homes, but he likes spec homes better)
We looked at land last night and made an offer, so we have the next property lined up for another spec.

I guess we need to celebrate!!

My usual e.o.m. check came in today, so I will add that to the challenge money.

Prev. total $8783.00
today 486.00
new total $9269.00

    Congrats! I said it before and I'll say it again: I wish your hubby lived in my area, so I could hire him!

    Hello Ima. I'm always amazed and thrilled with the efforts of you and your husband. How do you define a spec house?

    A spec house is a speculative house. We are building the best house we can, hoping someone will like it enough to buy it. My dh builds every house as if we are going to live in it. It has to be perfect. We try and buy land that has something going for it. In this case, the land has a terrific mountain view. Brasstown Bald is the name of the highest peak in Georgia and this has a perfect view of it.
    Dh does all the interior work himself; the painting, the trim, the hardwood flooring, the tile work, electrical, plumbing, and builds all the cabinets in place.

    Congratulations. I'm happy it worked out for you!

    Your husband sounds like a keeper Smile I agree with patientsaver...I know so many people who could use his talent.
