The "For Sale" sign went up at 9:30 last night. The house appeared in the MLS (the national on-line real estate listing service) this AM.

Note the little red For Sale sign in the background. That's been there for almost a year.
The free-floating amorphous spirit entity in front of the green house is friendly.

And, we learned at 9:00 AM that we have a showing at 11:00 AM today.

Needless to say, we weren't expecting to have a showing so soon, so the house is not really tidy. So now poor Mrs. is frantically scrambling to get the place cleaned up while I'm at work.

We're kindof bad at this.

Update:
The person who came to see the house yesterday is coming to see it again tonight. That's good news! I'm refusing to believe we could have found a buyer in essentially 12 hours, however. Just seems impossible.

Update:
Granite! On July 20^th, we went to stone yards and picked a handful of stone slabs for consideration. Some we liked; some we didn't love but we knew would fit our allotted budget (based on the "level" system builders and stone yards use to group stones by cost); some probably wouldn't fit the budget, but we wanted to know if we could swing the price difference anyway. So, the two stone yards contacted the stone fabricator with info about our candidate slabs. The fabricator came up with estimates. The stone fabricator then contacted our builder with those estimates. But the builder hasn't contacted us about it - he's notoriously incommunicative. So we still don't know anything about those estimates. It's an absurd and completely inefficient system. It's been almost three weeks, and we only know that the other three parties have talked to each other - none have talked to us. We have to make the decision about which stone to use, but it's impossible for us to get the necessary information out of the other three parties, who treat that information like it's a fucking state secret. Absolutely baffling.
