Gah. Apparently my offer to the house was the best and they have indicated they will accept it but there is a hiccup on a house they put an offer on and waiting on it to be sorted before anything official. I'm not sure what the hiccup is or how it affects their plans if it falls through but still more waiting and hope.
Still more waiting and hope for them for an even better offer to come through. Sounds to me like there's a mismatch between your offer and theirs on their new place ....
It could be. It definitely wouldn't surprise me. Though as I understand it (because I know which house they are wanting) is they put in their offer before I made mine.
I really really hate REA games with offers and counter offers. I know the thrill of the bargain plus amount of commission is a major motivator for them, but it's really really hard on us normal people. I never did see what people saw in auctions, but at least the pain is over quickly I guess.
Whatever is the problem I hope that it is resolved soon so that you know what you're up against instead of leaving you hanging.
Thanks. Unfortunately looks like it won't be until next week. Didn't hear anything yesterday and I doubt I will find out on the weekend.
Yeah, likely they need your money to buy the new place, but they're waiting for the other vendor. Hiccups can be a real pain in the esophigus.
