About an hour ago our real-estate agent called us with the news that our house has sold. So, a new chapter begins for us. Now our new house up in Georgia can be built and we can begin to plan the move. It looks like for at least a few months we will be living in our camper. I retire in 30 days.
So, a lot of changes here at Casa-de-Harry. I'm good with it all, but at the same time I'm getting a real sense of my own mortality. It kind of feels like we're opening "Act III" on our lives, and Act IV is known as "Curtains."

We sold our last rental two months ago. It was on the market for six weeks. The last tenant was in there 10 years. Got it cleaned up really nice, looked like new. Inventory in town is really low and we got top dollar. Very happy.
We are always on lookout for more rentals, but the market is too high right now.

I had to live in a camper for a month or two when I was a teen while our house was in the closing stages of being built. Being a teen the house couldn't be completed fast enough. 2 teens with Mom and Dad in a camper not exactly fun.
Just the two of you however should be a great time.
We recently bought a larger camper in anticipation of having to live in it. It's an Apex 249 RBS. Look it up if interested in seeing the temporary "Casa-de-Harry." It's not the biggest or grandest (same as the new house) but it will do for us.
We have our nestegg and I am looking at houses and property in NorCal. Even real estate agents told me that the market is crazy high right now, and to wait about a year. I heard on the radio that one issue they have with low inventory is they can't find skilled house builders! Good tradesmen are disappearing in our society to be replaced by people that design Apps.
I want to build, but the regulations here are crazy I hear. The market out here has to crash, because as the boomers downscale, there is no way young millennial buyers are coming out here and buying these big houses. I see a massive glut coming, and I see more real estate signs every day.
I agree with you about houses, the market, etc. Huge difference between my home state (California) and Georgia. I got 12.5 acres and a custom house for $300,000 total.
Seriously, congratulations. I'm sure you worked hard and have earned it.

In fact...
Much ty!
I'll just say in response; I won't miss the circus, but I will miss some of the clowns.
I'm going to have A LOT to keep me busy, so I don't expect to miss too much of it. I'm completely over being responsible for $50 million per copy jets. I'm not the sole responsibility, but I have a big part of it. If something happens I'm going to be standing around the big table explaining to Navy captains whatever it is they feel I need to be asked. I'm so over it. 28 days and a wake-up is all I gotta do.
Are you guys downsizing? 1700 sq.ft. of living is a good size home. After we lost our house to a fire back in 2003 that's what my parents built and it was enough for the 4 of us. We had 2 bedrooms on the main floor and 2 in the basement. The best part was the 1000 sq.ft. garage. A lot of time spent in that garage.
Saw your post in the US GP thread on who's going. You mentioned you're still living in your house for two weeks and that you weren't sure if you were doing something at your place before the race. Well considering you're moving it wouldn't be a bad idea to invite a whole bunch of of people over and then drop the news that they're all there to help you pack. Packing an entire house sucks but it's the best time to throw out a bunch of shit you no longer need, donate stuff, etc.
Before you know it you'll be out of the camper and into your new house.
