Everyone has agreed...

They are buying our house for 400K, we are giving $1250 toward buyers' closing costs. So real price is ***

***drum roll please***

398,750!

This is the end result of a sleepless night and all day long on the phone with both our Realtors...etc.

So...........CHOCOLATE'S ON ME! Another round for EVERYONE!

Wish all of you the kind of incredible fortune we have had in this horrible market. I think it all worked together in the best way possible. You ppl here have no idea how much your support and help have meant...!

Thank you, CM! (Also Fairy Dust coming your way...)

OOps, Timtam also asked about the table...we are keeping it! (But my DH might build them one if there is time.)

See, it was the crossed eyes that did it!

Wonderful that you can keep the special table -- Ole Hickory himself must be smiling down on you! Do you have a picture you can post of the now-famous table? (NOT right now of course; enjoy your celebrations & get some sleep!)

When do you close?

Crossed eyes, fairy dust, 99 bottles of beer...whatever it takes! SOMETHING worked!

Closing is supposed to be 8/29. Of course we have to get thru the inspection first...

Yes, here's a picture of the "now famous" table, lol.

Thank you Jen! We were on the market one month yesterday!

I just can't get over, that after all these weeks, now you, me, Willow & 2stay are getting offers...and Charcoal has a lease/purchase offer...and all this happened within a few days of each other! I think 2stay's was the first one...

Wow, one month, that's GREAT, Peri!!

We've been with our realtor for 68 days. On market total 168, which still isn't horrible.

And, get this, we've had 4 showings since these offers came in, with another on Monday! Crazy!

Yes, the dance of joy! I certainly remember that show and have wondered what has happened to Balki and Cousin Larry, is it? Can't quite remember his name right off the top of my head.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but out of curiosity will you be house hunting or do you already have a place to go to?
