We got a call from our realtor this weekend, finally!!! About 3 weeks ago, we had gotten an offer on the house that has been on the market for almost 8 months! It was too low by my estimate as well as the realtor's, so we counter offered and they disappeared. We were a bit regretful and thought maybe we should have just accepted it and closed the chapter on that one. I know times are tough in the real estate market, and offers don't happen every day! This past weekend, the house had a showing and the same night, the realtor received an offer that was a bit better than the first one! She said to review the offer and get back to her, l said l would. She sent me an email and the offer looked good and solid, they were already pre-approved. We were just about to sign off, when she forwarded me an email with the subject matter ..another one.. I was a bit confused, but it was just that, she had a second offer!!!! Then, a 3rd one came in, and that was the strongest one of all.. full asking price and all 3 have pre-approval, as long as the house appraises for what we're selling it for. I don't know what happened and why it's happening now, but we are thankful. I hope nothing unexpected happens and we close in 30 days as they requested. We are looking forward to the end of this story. Something strange has been happening in our immediate neighborhood as well, we've had 3 houses sell in the past in the past 30 days after they were languishing on the market for months and months (brand new houses too!) I wonder if it has anything to do with the tax credit for new home buyers. I don't know and l don't care to tell the truth.. :o)

Congrats on the full-asking-price offer! What a relief it must be.
It sure is a relief..and a long time coming. I'm glad we held out, we were already suffering, so a few more weeks didn't matter..lol.. They asked to move uo the closing date and so fingers crossed, we should close within the next 10 days or so. This will help a lot towards reducing the bills...
