House on the market? Check.
Nearly instantaneous offer? Check.
Set a close date for 5 weeks after offer? Check.
Next place to go? ... ummm, well...
So, we obviously went under contract much faster than expected, which threw us headlong into the game of "Find a Rental." It's a little like Labyrinth, or Risk, but with more pitfalls.
It turns out, the rental game is nothing like the buying game. Like nothing.

DOM
DOM in realtor speak stands for "Days on Market."
Our house went on the market at approximately 10:30am on Wednesday.
We received an offer Thursday at 6pm.
DOM = 1
Closing April 30. Anyone free to move boxes?
Wonder where we're going to live???

The Unnecessary Drama of Setting Your House Up to Sell
We're selling the house. Wednesday. We are selling the house (or at least putting the sign in the yard) on Wednesday.
This was this fun idea a year ago, that we could sell this place, pay off all our student loan debt with the proceeds (because we're pretty sure our house has gone up in value since we bought it, between the upswing in the market and the amount of stuff we've done to it), rent for a little while, then buy some place with a little more space in between us and the neighbors. Since then, we've been heading in that direction.
