The issue is that the sellers did not want to sell. They are a young military couple and have been very uncooperative with the listing agent. I believe that they have just left it active (why I am not sure). I have a client with an offer on it since last year. She was pregnant (the sellers wife) last year when it listed so I would assume that they have had the baby by now. Within a short time they had a ton of offers. They kind of pulled a Battiata and submitted one of them but kept it active. However shortly after that the sellers shut down all showings. The home was put into contingent status. The lender for the first has actually approved the offer but they are still working with the second. The sellers are not allowing any more showings but have come around and are going to cooperate with the approved buyers. Or so it seems.
Yes the buyers for this one will get a pretty sweet deal.
