This success story is a little different because this time, the sellers were us.
Years ago, we first walked through this Cocoa Beach home while showing it to clients. They passed, but we couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Our daughter had just started kindergarten at Freedom 7 Elementary right around the corner, and we loved the idea of our kids being able to walk or bike to school and grow up close to their friends. Eventually, we bought the home, took on the projects it needed, and made it ours.
And it was home for many wonderful years.
We always thought we might move once our son finished sixth grade at Freedom 7. As our kids got older, their schools, sports, friends, and activities were increasingly taking us elsewhere, and it eventually made sense for our home to follow where our lives were already headed.
Before listing, we did exactly what we encourage our clients to do. We completed the projects that mattered, made strategic improvements, staged the home, and prepared it carefully for the market.
Selling our own home also reminded us of something important: everyone loves their baby.
Even with all our experience, we knew our attachment could create blind spots. So we asked several agents we respect in our office to give us their perspective on pricing, presentation, and strategy.
Sometimes experience means knowing when another set of experienced eyes can make the plan better.
The market for our type of home was especially challenging, but we stayed focused, adjusted when necessary, and ultimately sold within the market average for comparable properties.
Handing over the keys was bittersweet. That home gave our kids exactly what we had hoped for all those years ago: a childhood where they could walk and bike to school, be close to friends, and grow up in a community they knew as home.
Now we’re happily settled into our next chapter, closer to where our kids’ lives revolve around school, sports, friends, and activities.
Our needs changed, and our definition of the “right home” changed with them.
That may be one of the best reminders from selling our own home: the right house isn’t always the one you stay in forever. Sometimes it’s the one that fits the chapter you’re in.
We loved that chapter. And we’re pretty excited about this one, too.
