Short Sale: Back on the Market

When we left for vacation last week, I was fine that our house was for sale and a short sale was pending.  On our way to the beach our car burned up, not literally, but there was smoke, and where there is smoke....Anyway, the car broke, and we were going to have to move when the sale was final, maybe January.  As it turns out, while on vacation, our landlord called to say they are giving us 30 days notice to move out.  They are scared that the sale won't go through and that the house will sell better empty (staged), before the new year, when they need it off or their books.

I understand that they want to sell their house, and that it has nothing to do with my housekeeping and decorating ability (it is my full-time job so it looks nice in here).  They have been generous letting us live here rent-free.  I just don't want to move during the holiday season.  Don't expect any gifts or a decorated tree from me this year.

As we left for vacation we thought we had no car.  On the way home, with our repaired car, we have no house (or at least no house in 30 days).  If you read through the annuls of my blog, you will find that "I HATE MOVING" is a theme.  I'll repeat it again, I HATE MOVING, but I will.  I don't want to push back too much with our landlords to stay longer.  We live in the same town as they do, and I don't want any problems later on.

Tonight, home from a week at the beach, I am too tired to comb Craigslist.com anymore for rentals.  G'night.
