Real Estate

I am so tired of selling houses.  This is the 4th house we have sold in the last 4 years.  We have always been really lucky and have sold our houses really fast.  I keep thinking that our luck has run out (even though it has only been about a week).  I always go through this.  Plus, the housing market has changed drastically in this country.  However, the housing market in Tulsa is actually much better than a lot of the country, at least that is what all the experts say.  Our home prices haven't plummeted.  The market here has always been really steady and stable.  And, they keep cutting interest rates, which is bad for the value of the dollar, but good for people wanting to buy houses. 

But, I hate always having to keep the house spotless, having to worry about every little mess the kids make.  They need to be able to make messes, they are kids!!  I feel like I am being a tyrant mom.  I hate all of the stress it creates, worrying about the future, what will we do if the house doesn't sell soon enough, etc.  We were going to rent when we first moved here, but couldn't find anything to suit our needs in the short amount of time we had to look.  So, we will rent when we get to Spokane, even though we plan on being there for much longer  (we planned on being here for much longer, after all).   The bright side is, we get to move back to the northwest!!!  I am thrilled about that .  But I am so over selling houses.  I just want it to be over with.  I know I need to have faith that we are making the right decision for our family, so it will all work out.  But accepting the unknown is a very uncomfortable  place for me to be.    Anyway, I 'm done with my rant, I need to go to bed (after I get the house cleaned up, of course :).
