I've arranged to buy a house in Marlborough (Seddon). Closing is 30 November. Looks like my departure from the US is going to be delayed until late February or early March.
It's a pretty old house in town. Sits on 3/4 acre with lots of fruit trees . . . requires a certain sort of person/family. I've arranged for the previous owners to leave very minimal furniture, but the place will be pretty empty.
Does anyone have suggestions about how to manage this? Leave it vacant? Hand it over to a realtor (is there a market for summer rentals?)? Advertise for a house sitter?
