We sold our 1st house

John and I bought our first house in the spring 2006. We were still in college and only 21, but the market was still pretty good and we were able to buy a fixer upper. You can read more about our renovation of our first house with before and after pics here . There is a picture of it below.



We bought our new house about a year and a half ago (July 2010) and once we moved in and the old house was empty we finished up some projects over there, like the flooring in the guest bedroom and office, painting, etc. We finally put the old house on the market in April of this year. We had 3 months without an offer, so we dropped the price a little. Then we finally got an offer on our anniversary (Sept 27th)! It was the best anniversary present ever. During the closing process the house didn't appraise for as much as we were selling it for so we had to lower our price slightly, but all in all we ended up in the black with a small profit, plus we don't have two mortgages anymore! We finally closed Oct 31st! I thought I was going to be sad since it was our first house and we worked so hard on it, but I was actually ok. I love our new house and hope that the new homeowners will enjoy it as much as we did!
