Our House is for Sale...?

I had a friend over today, and she suddenly asked me if we were selling our house.  I was surprised she'd ask.  I mean, after all, we don't have a for sale sign in our yard.  And we haven't even lived here 2 years yet.  But she told me that while she was online looking for homes in the area, she came across this posting:

Interesting.  That most certainly is our house.  That post says it was last updated on September 2008.  That's funny, because we bought the house in June of 2008.  Hmmm...

Looking at that photo, though, made me think about all that we've done/changed with our house- even just the outside:

Our chimney is gone
The front porch was white, but we painted it the same color as the rest of the house (grayish)
The door/trim on our porch (inside) was blue, but we painted it red
The bushes are gone and we replaced them with new evergreens
The stairs were rebuilt and are not carpeted

My sister went on the site and found out that if you click on the "see listing website" it will tell you that the property is no longer available.  So that's a relief.  At least people aren't still trying to buy it.  LOL!

Strange...
