Hopefully this will end soon! As I might have mentioned before, back when they 'fired' me we got all worried and decided we'd better get the house ready to sell. At that time Eor came up with some possibilities of what we could do next, the most interesting being that if we could clear $50,000 or so we could buy a house in New Orleans outright and not have rent to worry about.
We've been working our asses off, we got the house in good enough condition so we thought a viewer could imagine it done, and brought the real estate agent in to look at it and tell us what she thought we could get and what we needed to finish up. She came by last Thursday and while she was looking around she wrote down on her little paper pad "$199,000" - Eor could see what she wrote, even though she just said she had to go back to the office and do some research before she gave a final number.
A few days later she came back and told him $185,000 would be the highest we could get for it, and that we should get it right on the market soon. This would only clear us something like $27,000 - not enough to buy a house in New Orleans. The only odd thing here is that in the days between a car came by and obviously scoped our place. No sign up yet, and supposedly nobody should know we're thinking about selling besides us and her. And the same car came by again after she gave us that number. Hm. Eor's going to call in an appraiser and see what they think we could sell for.
Meanwhile, my having been fired seems to have been erased from all memory - now I'm a good employee, since they moved me to records.
