Lauren CobelloMy old house sold in a dayMy old house sold in a day for $185,000 — $16,000 above the asking price. The old house had room for plenty of sleepovers; we would host large ones for birthdays, but we can't do that in the new house. Cobello's new home (right) is about a third of the size of her old house. In the old house, my monthly expenses included $350 on property taxes, around $26 on garbage collection, and close to $66 on water. After paying off my mortgage on the old house, my proceeds from selling it will be around $55,000.
