We are at the 1 month mark! 1 month until we close on both places and we have a new home :) It seems so far away, but I know it will be here fast.
Our checklist of things TO DO:
1) Appraisals - the appraisal at our new place was completed last week and was just sent to us. It has to be sent to the underwriter of our loan for review. The appraisal at our current place is on Thursday. Crossing fingers that all goes well.
Basically, both places 'need' to appraise for the selling price. For a conventional loan, if a house appraises lower for the sale price then the 'buyer' has a chance to 1) accept the appraisal value as is and continue with the contract 2) renegotiate the sales price 3) get out of the contract. So yes, it is kinda nerve wracking. I don't have a sense of calm yet .. Our new place appraised for the sale price, but we need the appraisal to take place on our current place. Once this is done I will feel like we can actually move.
2) Finish Loan/Closing Items - we have to fill out some more paperwork for closing .... oh the paperwork.
2) Pack - oh geez, packing. We packed a bunch of stuff and put it in storage when we staged our house for listing. Plan is to pack one day each weekend of Dec 8 and Dec 15.
3) Utilities - we need to schedule utilities at our new place and cancel our old utilities.
4) Schedule a truck to move - So the plan right now is to load up everything Dec 23, drive the truck around with us through Christmas, go to closing, then move everything in on Dec 27.
