SOLD.

My father’s house has officially closed as of about 9:45 this morning.

This was a bit of a journey and I’m honestly very glad to be done with it all. It was a lot of work for one person and a lot of pressure and planning and physical labor. I’m also glad that the deal got done before winter as that would bring other challenges (heating, snow removal, travel, etc). Plus I predict a recession and housing market slowdown by the end of the year (or early next).

I’m oddly emotional, too. I keep tearing up a bit as I think about it. I don’t know if it’s from sheer relief or from having a period typed on my father’s sentence.

Regardless, it’s done– well, done except for probate being officially closed with the state of Iowa. But that’s my attorney’s job and should be fairly painless.
