Selling this damn house =/

Well, we just had our third showing! Cross your fingers, and lets hope it was a good one! We haven't had much luck in that aspect of selling the house... Plus, the market's not a sellers market right now, so it makes it that much harder!

Let me give you a rundown of how the showings have been going....

The first showing we had came the day after we put the house on the market. Kris was off that day so we had been running around all morning and no one was home so when they called to tell us about the showing.... no one answered. Kris and I got home that day around 1pm and I took Gavin upstairs for a nap. We laid down for about 10 mins, and all of a sudden, the dogs are barking and Conner is yelling for me... So I run downstairs and he's like... Someones here to look at the house... I was like, WHAT? So the buyer and agent walk in the house and I'm running around like a freakin mad man trying to get the dogs to quit jumping on these two ladies, and Gavin comes walking down the stairs in his diaper!!!!! I finally get the dogs out back, and Gavin in some clothes and in my arms, and the agent goes... "Oh, this house doesn't have a formal living, we need a formal living" and they walk out. Needless to say, it was pretty much HORRIBLE! And I'm pretty sure that the whole "formal living" thing was just an escape goat because it was so awkward and uncomfortable for them. Poor ladies. I felt pretty bad, and pretty embarrassed!!!

Then we had our second showing yesterday.... We actually got a phone call this time, so we knew they were coming, and we got out of the house in time. However, this time it was a couple that was looking at the house down the street that's for sale, and they were ready to make an offer on it until our realtor talked there agent into showing them our house. Let me remind you, there is a house down the street from us that is for sale... It is our exact same floor plan but the other one has a lot of upgrades, and a pool in the backyard, BUT it is also like $25,000 more than ours. Anyway, they looked at our house, and decided that it would cost them more to buy this house AND put the upgrades in it, so they didn't want it. Bummer.

And, today I was watching Tori and Dean (best reality show everr.) and my cell phone rings... To my surprise it was another showing. This time it was from 2pm-3pm... I look over at the clock and it is 1:40.... Fabulous. So I wake Gav up, clean up the house a little bit, stump my freakin toe while I'm running around trying to get things done in 20 mins, and finally I get out the door... But I have both of the dogs and Gavin, and I was not prepared for this at all. So I ended up going to sonic and eating, then driving around aimlessly for 45 mins. Pretty fabulous.

SO, not much luck with showings so far, but I guess this is what its like when your house is on the market.... and we'll do what we have to to sell this house. Maybe the last person that looked at it will like it... We'll see.

Now, I'm offff to get some laundry doneee.
