welcome, fellow traveller. before you admit to being like me, you really should get to know me better. you might regret that.
i am not a real estate professional but i have a feeling that backup offers may be more liekly to be accepted over the next few months as the tax credit expires and financing is very tight.
I’d hang in there.
the house that was the subject of this thread is still outt here in short sale mode, waiting for the bank to realize its loss. we have gone to visit it several times and now the wife isn’t sure about it. it sustained some water damage int he rains (good move, bank). also, strangely, houses look very different the second thirda and fourth times you come in. this palce looked much smaller than we’d rememebred, kind of like the way elementary schools look smaller when you visit years later
