Evacuation complete? (J1)

We received an email from the auctioneer who was handling our house sale, before we left Ireland. He asked if we could please get in touch with him. A developer had contacted him, and wanted to buy our house.

The timing was quite good, as we had recently been thinking about maybe trying to put it back on the market. Unfortunately house prices had been dropping over 6% in Ireland in the last year. But the developer really wanted our house, and we ended up agreeing a price higher then our asking price last year.

We have been here before, and I do not want to get too excited about it until contracts have been signed. Our solicitor is currently preparing the contracts, and hopefully we can sign within 4 weeks.

If the sale goes though, we would have officially completed our evacuation from Ireland, as this blog has suggested. I have proposed to J2 to change the name of the blog. Lets wait and see.
