monday real estate update

best one in a while... woo hoo! we had 4 showings last week - twice the standard. but wait, there's more. someone will be renting our house out for 2 months (may and june) while he waits to close on a house he bought elsewhere in richmond. so that's two months of rent that will help offset mortgage payments, two months free from a second set of power and utilities bills, and two months without having to pay the dude who mows our lawn there. and the best part, the house will stay on the market the entire time and will still be available for showings. it is a mutually beneficial arrangement. so we're in a good place, at least for the next two months!
