The buyer was also a good sport, considering the fact that they agreed for an extra month to rent your house back. How are up now? I hope everything goes well for you. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.paramounttitlefl.com/services/house-title-search/" rel="nofollow">Paramount Title FL</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563071092805301015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697737974013665829.post-30090659896666920922013-02-16T16:48:56.031-08:002013-02-16T16:48:56.031-08:00Chad, I hope your sale works out.

No doubt, this last spring in your garden will be bitter-sweet -- much easier if you are already making plans for an exciting new garden. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697737974013665829.post-47606703602216854762013-02-01T16:41:05.552-08:002013-02-01T16:41:05.552-08:00I haven't actually spoken with them directly y...I haven't actually spoken with them directly yet so I haven't asked about specific plants. But if I get a chance to, I'd like to ask them about a few plants and trees. In particular, the weeping cherry tree I included in this post. I planted that tree the week after my daughter was born so it has a great deal of sentimental value to me. I may just take a few snips of it and try to graft it onto some rootstock (that I don't currently have) or try some root hormone which is not supposed to be as effective on weeping cherries as grafting is.

Some, of course, may not be easily removed, but sometimes the new owners are not gardeners and wouldn't mind if you would take it all! I know this spring will be a bit bittersweet for you, seeing new blooms but knowing it may be the last time you may see them.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697737974013665829.post-4303878443981424082013-02-01T14:10:40.373-08:002013-02-01T14:10:40.373-08:00Yes, I actually read about your struggles to find ...Yes, I actually read about your struggles to find the right property the other day. My reading of your blog happened to coincide with our decision to move and I was alarmed by your experiences with the banks. Working in my favor, I suppose, is that we aren't looking for land and the homes are currently being lived in so we wouldn't (knock on wood) have to deal with the banks not believing that the abodes are livable.

I will admit to a great deal of anxiety over finding the next home. There just isn't that much inventory out there right now in the neighborhoods we are hoping to settle in. We do have a place to stay after we move out and before we find another place but it would be a short-term rental situation. I am thankful for that but I am not looking forward to moving twice.

We've been looking for property, and keep coming up against banks that won't loan on fixer uppers (we're focusing on land, not the house - as we can fix a house). We've seen a number of properties we've been watching get relisted when the banks refuse to write the note. We've had competition from developers too. For us we may have to cash-only just to ensure we get what we want, as the banks are really dragging their heels, even for well-qualified buyers, so hang in there. I'm crossing my fingers that your escrow will be done soon, without a hitch!Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697737974013665829.post-39361809074158083592013-02-01T08:26:01.929-08:002013-02-01T08:26:01.929-08:00Chad, I offer you a fist bump of cautious congratu...Chad, I offer you a fist bump of cautious congratulations, but reserve the 'exploding hand' part until you collect funds. Having looked at hundreds of homes over the course of years before finding something that we could live in (or so we thought), I admire your confidence that you can find your next home so rapidly. Get packing, my friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
