Thanks for your replies, guys
I know 2 weeks isn't long, but even a the beginning of this year, houses around here were selling in less than 2 weeks! So its a bit of a shock to the system.
I'm always one to look for the silver lining tho, & I think if we don't arrive until close to Christmas, at least we'll get some time off. OH is wanting to start working as soon as we land on NZ soil but desperately needs some R&R, so it could work out well (she tells herself positively!).
