So as part of this relocation, we did a local relo first. While we loved our home and especially our neighborhood, we couldn't see leaving a 45 year old house empty for a year or more. Also, we were really getting tired of the maintenance associated with this house.
Here's a pic of our old house. More pics at http://picasaweb.google.com/nourider60
Everyone told us the market was soft, mortgages are hard to get, and we were silly to try to sell our house. Well, our realtor, Kathy Evans, www.HomesinRTParea.com felt differently. She thought we could sell it pretty easily in 30 days, and she was right! We had 30 showing in 30 days and 2 offers.
Anyway, we sold it and moved into a townhouse in Cary. Now we've got a brand new place that we're pretty comfortable leaving empty, and it has no external maintenance.
