Our house has sold, basically. We got a second offer this week, asking for lower plus full closing costs. We counter-offered so we would pay closing costs, but the sell price would help us almost break even. He countered offered again . . . aiming to leave us $3 grand in the hole. So much for our investment, but we suspected as much when we listed the house. We all slept on it. Our realtor called his realtor and they volunteered to each take $1000 off of their commissions. That way we don't have to pay more than a monthly mortgage would be anyway to clear out. As long as the buyer isn't stingy over the inspection, we close September 10th, right before Cory starts Officer Development School (boot camp). Our new house should be done around November or December.

Glad your home is being sold. Are you guys building a home or are you moving to a brand new neighborhood?
Yeah!!! Having the house sold is a nice feeling, right?
That's not a bad loss, just think of the house that you'll be moving into. :)
I am so happy for you guys! That is amazing that you've gotten an accepted offer in this market so quickly. I hope all goes well with the inspection!!
Good News Stephanie! There are so many houses here that haven't sold for a long time. I hope that it all works out for you.
