For Sale

We just listed our house for sale. I might as well get this out in the open for anyone out there who doesn't know yet. (Apparently some news travels fast.)

You might be wondering why we're selling our house after being here for only six months. It's because we haven't been able to refinance our construction loan into a traditional mortgage. We moved in on the construction loan with plans to get our mortgage taken care of shortly after moving. But things have not worked out in a way that has made that possible.

During the time we built our house, the mortgage industry was on a steady decline. A mortgage that we could have easily obtained at the time we started the building process is now impossible to obtain. Really impossible, as in, certain loan programs don't even exist anymore.

And it initially looked like we would have plenty of time to handle that since the bank we were with was allowing us to make payments on the construction loan until we could get a traditional home loan. But then, that bank went under. It was bought out by another bank who is not being as easy to work with. We are still trying to come up with an arrangement that the bank would be happy with, but in the meantime, we decided we should try and sell our house.

Here are a few pictures if anyone out there is interested.
