From the 'It's about time' files:

I think the house has sold (counteroffer accepted). I should be getting paperwork tomorrow that finalizes this.

It was a learning experience if anything. And I'll be sure to post a full financial analysis including tax benefits, to assess the annual rate of return and see if I would have been better off just putting the money in mutual funds, once I get the final check after closing. Initial estimates only point to a 7% per year gain... we'll see how right that is.
