Our house has been on the market for a little more than 6 weeks and despite tons of showings, no offers were coming. Too many house for sale in our area in the same price range combined with a bad market have made buyers hesitant to push the button even after 2/3 looks and some serious interest in our house.

Anyway- we accepted an offer today for $5000 below our asking price and are currently in attorney review. A good start but the offer is contingent on the buyer selling their home in a neighboring town. They have a mortgage commitment letter that says sale does not have to be contingent but have stipulated in the contract that they must sell first. We are a little anxious but can continue to market/show our house and the buyer will have the right of first refusal. We are optimistic that this can work and since we are building and our house is not scheduled to be completed until the end of the year, we are hoping that this may save us some money/energy regarding renting a place and having to move twice.

Keep your fingers crossed for us and thanks to all the kind GWers who offered advice and suggestions during this process. Selling a house is hard!

Thanks again.
