Related: About this forumDoes anybody here live at Masonicare in Wallingford? We are going there at the end of the month.
Selling our house in the Westville section of New Haven, after living here over 35 years.
The good news is that our house has doubled in value (or what we paid for it) over the years, so that is a financial comfort for us.
I'm still nervous and will be until we get this all settled. Our realtors are confident. There is a demand for our specific kind of house, a prewar colonial in a specific part of Westville. I had no idea the real estate business had this amount of specificity but of course it would (I just haven't been paying attention).
I know how fortunate I am. I"m just nervous.

(67,444 posts)I'm nervous about the move. It seems overwhelming to me. I worry that something will go wrong and it will be all my fault because I didn't anticipate something I shudda anticipated. I will visit my pharmacist tomorrow about the meds I take and how to 'transition" them to Masonicare (I spoke to him on the phone and he says he has done this for folks many, many times and I won't be without my blood pressure meds). I am hopeful...

(25,809 posts)the neighborhood I lived in for roughly 40 years), it was sold to the first person who looked at it. So it was over and done w/ in literally 1 day, the first day it was on the market. We had no idea. Perhaps the same thing will happen to you, and the best thing hopefully to happen afterwards, is that you get a follow-up place you want soon!
Best wishes!

(67,444 posts)We still have a couple of things that need to be done. It's a graceful older home with a nice addition that was here when we moved in (and basically sold us on the house immediately).
And I'm tired. I was a lot younger last time I moved. I need to pace myself and not overdo it. I'm just hoping my arthritic back holds up.
