During this whole game of construction, things have really gone quite swimmingly for us. As far as selling our existing house went, Plan A was to sell it a couple of months before we got the keys to the new house, which is around August. We changed our minds and instead put it on the market last October to try and attract a buyer before interest rates went too high, but with the provision that we could rent it back from the buyer so that we didn't have to move twice. We knew that this condition of sale would narrow the market but eventually the house did sell, 2 months ago, and settlement is tomorrow. We have secured an initial 4 month lease which should provide a good deal of overlap, with the option of a month-by-month lease if things really hit the poo. Couldn't be happier. Even though we are up for 4 months rent, at least the house is sold, and the money from settlement almost wipes out the construction loan, saving us heaps in interest.
The thing is, we have never ever rented in our lives.
Why do I feel uneasy?
