The house showings were crazy this weekend. We got on the market about 11:00 Friday. Through the weekend, we had about 17 showings!! That is crazy! Sunday morning, I learned we had an offer but we still had 2 more showings. In the late afternoon, I met with my realtor to respond to the offer. It was full price but they wanted some help with closing costs. I countered the offer on the closing costs. We were pretty sure they would counter back.
During that time, the couple that came through at 4:30 made an offer! Their offer was a better offer...but the first offer accepted my counter offer literally at the same time the second offer came in. I am stuck with the first offer unless she decides to pull out (which does happen). She is coming back to look inside the garage this evening. The second offer is in back up position for now.
So now I need to find a place to live! One of the advantages of listing now is there isn't much on the market. But one of the disadvantages of looking now is there isn't much on the market. The offer provided me 45 days before we close and another 30 days I can rent the house back. So I have a little time. If the right thing doesn't come along, I will look into renting. It is important for me to find the right place.
I am pretty sad about selling the house. I love my house. But I have to trust I will find a new place I love too and it will all work out. I admit a new place can be exciting! So many new things coming my way!
