I sold my house.

Helo friends. I´m tired and should be sleeping but I had to tell you that I finally sold my house. After many comings and goings, I finally accepted their offer. It was around 10% less than the inicial price but I did not mind. All this time (a long year already) I have been looking at my house not with my loving eyes but with the eyes of a buyer who will have to fix a lot of things. I will rent at first a small house or an apartment in the first floor. I dread earthquakes so I have to be where I can run as soon as one begins. I´ll use one bedroom at first to use to place all my junk so that I can sort it out little by little. I´m still keeping my fingers crossed but everything is almost done. Sleep tight. I´m very happy.

Congratulations Marga, great news! You did the same as I did. Look at our house if we were buyers, it's the best thing to do to sell. Good idea to rent a place in the first floor. I also do not want to live on a high floor, you never know.

I want to buy an old house.(or rent if the owner lets me fix the house as I want). They are built better than the new ones. ut I want to fix some things such as no tub and clean kitchen.

@LadyDuck I prefer the old buildings here because they are made better for earthquakes. I can remodel many things, but I cannot change the structure. My brother put solar panels at his house years after it was built. And I remodeled my bathroom here with the best showers available.

@marguicha - This apartment building where I live now is 10 years old and I have to say that it is so much better than the old buildings. Solar panels on the roof, perfect insulation, double pane insulated windows. There are two bathrooms and both with showers. Now it's almost "big for me", but I am not going to move, I love this place.

That’s wonderful!! I’m so glad for you, Marga. It’s great to hear you got a decent price for it. Now the task of finding a place to move to…I hope you don’t have to look for too long.

@marguicha I’m sure after it’s all over with things will be much easier for you, not having so large of a house to care for. I hate to ask, but what about Luna?

@celticeagle I was quite worried as the house is much too big for me and very expensive to maintain.

@DaddyEvil I AM getting poor, dear. That´s the main reason why I sold the house. But this house is big and in a good neighborhood and I will be getting enough money to last me until I die.

if a earthquake comes where will you run ? Cause if I'm not mistaken there's no where you can run from a earthquake.

I don´t want to be inside a house in an earthquake. I run to the garden here when there´s a big one.

@marguicha When I was in school at a younger age they told us to hide under a desk ? never thought about it till I got older & away from Calif did I learn that is the worst place to be, & they say to stay indoors for hurricanes I don't think that's smart.

@2ndchances24 In my country we have learnt to build good houses in case of earthquakes. But of course they have to be built as law says.

Sold mine and lost money too. Sucks but better than waiting months for a buyer who may or may not pay the right price. I hope your new place will be nice and cosy. Are you planning to buy another house?
