It took 4-1/2 months and 5 offers, but we finally have our NJ house under contract. Settlement in May. After 30 years of trying (business and family kept us here) we are finally getting out of NJ and heading south to the land of the free. Party time.

👍

It took me almost 2 years to sell my old place... Two mortgages sucks... 😟

Congrats Dave!

Praying the deal closes.
Two of mine fell through before finally getting it done.
Wish I had moved sooner..........but that simply wasn’t in the cards.
I imagine getting out of NJ is almost as good as getting out of Commiefornia.

When do you want all those AR-15's , 100 round drum magazines and that wooden crate of 24 SKS's all packed in cosmolene, back?...I've kept "on ice" since 1995?

Go ahead and deliver them here... I've got beers... 😟

I will provide escort and protection.

Congrats David.
I know it's been a long time coming.

We need to get the boys together for a farewell herf.

Congrats and enjoy the land of the free!

Great news, good luck with settlement & move.

Congrats and good luck with the move

Wtg! =d>

Hope the new home is everything you folks dreamed of.

Thanks for all the well wishes. It was a hard sell. The home is a beautiful 110 year old 2100 sq. ft. colonial that has been totally renovated (by just the two of us) and looks like a showcase home from a magazine. The problem is that it is located on a busy main road and has a bar across the street. 3 dozen showings. Everyone loved the home and said it was priced great, but hated the location. We finally found a young couple who's love for the home was greater then the downside of the location.

Now to a 1600 sq. ft. rancher on a dead end country road half way up the Blue Ridge mountains. We will have to completely renovate our new home, to make it as wonderful as the one we are leaving. Over the past few years, Donna has become an exceptional construction helper. In fact she can tape and spackle far better then I. We can't wait to get started.

Dang Jones, I had forgotten about that "stash". I'll tell you what. You may keep it all in consideration of you storing the stuff for the past 24 years.

Getting pretty close. 10 round mag limit went into effect a few months ago. I had to scramble to get all of my "standard" capacity mags out of the state. They're also talking about mandatory smart guns and several million dollars worth of liabilty insurance for all gun ownership. NJ is now a santuary state, will soon be offering driver licences to illegals, and our governor wants to provide free State college to any and all illegals. Of course US Citizens still have to pay. Hopefully we can help to keep this kind of insanity from happening in NC.

Opps, almost forgot about the NJ "Exit" Tax. At settlement, the state withholds a percentage of the sale price of the home. You then have to file a non-resident NJ state tax return the following year to get the money back. The problem is, many folk don't know to, or forget to file, and the state ends up keeping their money.

Sounds great John.

South......land of the free.You're gonna love Texas,hopefully the northwest part so we's can herf.

Whoo Hoo! Soon the closing!
