4. Hmm...you have something there.

However, it's always tempting to make a new start in a new place. Tempting enough to help you ignore the hassle of it all.

Our previous home has been on the market now for a couple of weeks. I expected it to sell almost instantly, but no such luck.

Apparently, my troublesome next door neighbor has not mown her lawn so, it's badly overgrown. She also has an old couch leaning up against her garage. It's bad enough that there is a shared driveway between the two houses. It's plenty wide, but when you add the messy yard and unsightly furniture on display, it seems to be putting off some of the potential buyers. Now, she might be doing those things out of some misplaced spite, but she was never a tidy nor thoughtful neighbor.

My realtor got the cold shoulder from her when she suggested that those issues be corrected. Oh well...We dropped the asking price a bit. Someone will buy it soon enough, I suppose. I will be glad.
