As you know, we put our house on the market at the end of January. We had several showings right off the bat followed by 2 weeks of ice and snow. That definitely slowed the traffic. But, to our delight, we received an offer on Saturday, February 19th. The offer was good, we countered, and the buyer accepted. We even went to look at new houses the same day we received an offer on our house. We found the home we LOVE and put an offer on it the following day.
Our potential buyer scheduled some inspections, we made some repairs in anticipation of selling the house, and then BAM! We found out that our buyer was terminating the contract due to health issues. While her reasoning is understandable, it sure doesn't lessen the blow to us.
We may lose the house we fell in love with. Don's ready to drain his 401K and all of our savings to take on 2 mortgages, but I'm trying to think further on down the road. I don't want to drain all of those funds...One day, we'll want to retire and need some money to do that with.
Today, our house is officially back on the market. Back to cleaning all night and every morning in hopes that a new buyer will come along soon!
Selling a house is an emotional roller coaster that I do not ever want to go through again!
