Over the past few weeks, we have been going back and forth about what we want to do with the home we currently own in Missouri.
I realize I say this all the time about everything in my life, but I am an extremely indecisive person.
This decision has been a difficult one so far, and we are still leaning either way depending on the day.
There are many reasons for why we are undecided about what to do next as well. So, what should I do? Should I rent or sell my house?
Below are some of the reasons for why we keep going back and forth about whether we should rent or sell our house:
We love our house again.
We’ve been fixing it up and have been slowly falling back in love with it. I know, this isn’t a good enough of a reason to keep a house and it seems like we are just coming up with excuses to keep it.
Some of the things we’ve done in the past few weeks include:
- The whole upstairs and downstairs have been completely professionally painted. Trim, walls, doors, etc. and it all looks so much better now.
- We’ve replaced a light fixture with something much nicer.
- We fixed all of the curtain rod placements to make the windows look bigger.
- We’ve bought new curtains.
- We’ve deep cleaned the whole house.
- We replaced the broken garage door with a nice carriage door.
- We replaced our back door with something nicer as the last one had a cracked door frame after someone got locked out of our home.
All of these improvements have made us wonder a little more about what we should do with our home. We know we should probably just get rid of it and sell it, but the fact that it looks so much better than before definitely hurts a little!
I realize this is normal though when someone goes through preparing a house to be put on the market.
