Our house is for sale. The market is hot because of the shortage of homes, so we are going to do the for-sale-by-owner thing for a few weeks and see how it goes. A friend who just sold hers by owner has given us a few tips, so we put our our sign and now we'll see what happens. It's been a couple of days, and I've shown it once already.We have talked to an agent in case we decided to list it. The longest any home in our neighborhood has been on the market before it went under contract recently has been 11 days. With its new roof and new fence, we hope it looks good to buyers. Our house should be pretty popular since it was not damaged by flooding, whic is is one of the first questions most people ask after the price.
It's been a good home. I love it most for being strong for us when we needed it to be.
Here's another home in Slidell that has been "for sale" since right after the hurricane. I drove by it a few days ago and took this picture. They are not having as much luck selling this home even though they've had it marked "half off" for some time now. I guess that would be the bottom half that's off. At least they have a sense of humor. ;-)

It's August now. Did your house sell? You need to post a picture of the moving truck and maybe a picture of your new Kentucky home.
I share your feelings. I am in Kenner. My street has more trailers and less trees than before Katrina. My job my move to Houston next spring. I don't want to move, but what's left here is depressing.
