Congratulations!

I think things are finally picking up - at least in some areas. After 6 months on the market and one contract that the buyers walked away from due to cold feet, we had two offers within 2 days. Once the first offer was on the table (which included an onerous contingency), we experienced a very rare phenomenon in this market - we as the sellers finally had some leverage. The second couple that came through spent 35 minutes in the house and then made a full-price, cash offer on the spot! (Of course, "full price" means our most recent asking price which was after a series of price reductions.)

We had our inspection yesterday and are now in the critical "buyer's remorse" period. Based on our last experience, I'll feel a lot better if the deal is still together a week from now.
