It has been an eventful week here at the Red Hen Home! Just a week ago, I shared the news that my family is moving to Seattle. Yesterday I sent my husband off on the long drive so he can start his new job on Monday. But before that…after only six days on the market…we sold our house!
Some of you may have been with me a year ago when we tried to sell our house…and it didn’t take! Although we did receive one offer, we weren’t able to come to an agreement with the potential buyers. So we made up our minds to be happy where we were…and we have been.
We chose to invest a lot of time, money, and attention in our home over the past several months. We put up a wall in the basement to create additional storage, repainted the main level of the house and bought some beautiful new furniture, remodeled the laundry room, and built a workshop.
Is it hard to leave all that behind?
Oh, yeah baby.
But if it has to happen, we are so grateful that we were able to sell quickly. Now the search for the new Red Hen Home begins in earnest!
Wish us luck!

Congratulations on such a quick sale - and when I looked at your home on the real estate page I can see why it sold so quickly. You have the house and yard and the storage area in such wonderful presentation shape.

Fantastic news. I wonder if they looked at your blog and fell in love with your home before they even stepped in the door?

ps yep, I was here last year when you were so disappointed. Everything happens for a reason!
Korrie, I'm so happy for you! Wishing your family all the best!
Congratulations Korrie, that's great!!! Let the adventure begin!
Good luck and I know you'll create something just as beautiful in Seattle. Hugs!
Gods knows what He's doing! Your home is beautiful. You will be only a three day ferry ride away from Juneau when you move to Seattle!
I hope you are able to find a new home as easily! You will love the Pacific N.W.!
Korrie you're proof that timing is everything! I remember your frustration a year ago and now look, of course that beautiful workshop will have to be duplicated but now you know the drill. Best of luck on the West Coast!
God wasn't rEAdy for you last year--
you know the saying, "if you wanna make God laugh--tell Him your plans."
btw--the looked fab, no wonder it sold right away!

Congrats on such a quick sale! (Now for the fun part...). Good luck, Korrie!
If I had had to buy a home in your area, I would have bought it for the shop area alone!! Congrats!
Wow that is quite a home. I noticed you had cleared alot of personal items away which I've heard is the best way to sell your home. 6 days? That is incredible, CONGRATS. You must have worked you fanny off keeping your home looking so perfect. Worth all the work tho if you sell it that quickly. So happy for you so you can join your hubs in Seattle. Yippee. What an incredible journey and adventure for all of you.
They say timing is everything! Sounds like this is the right time to be making a change. Enjoy the house hunt. There is an amazing new chapter of life out there just waiting for you! I'm encited to follow along!
I wish you lots of luck with finding a new home. I can't wait to see what you will do next.
You created a lovely home...immaculate is right!! You will create another beautiful home in beautiful Seattle. I grew up there and now live near Spokane...maybe we can meet someday.
So excited for you, excited to be coming along for the adventure, and 'ya know.... it was the shop. The new buyers were sold on the shop! The lady must be a DIY'r. Did she ask for the chocolate table?
Bliss
SEATTLE?!?!?! But I never got to meet you!
Well. Now for the positive thoughts.
You're going to have SO much fun redoing your next house. What an adventure! Congrats on the quick sale!
That is awesome news! ...and a modern day miracle for sure! Congrats! Wishing you much success in your new home search! :)
I love when things happen at just the right time! So happy for you!
Good Luck Korrie! Sorry to see you go! I am thinking you just got your shop done - Hope all goes well! Can't wait to see what is next for you!
