Default Price it to sell

I listed my condo in CT in the beginning of April. I took my realtor's advice and priced it at her recommendation. I wanted to price it higher, but she said this was the best price to sell. Two people looked at it and in 4 days I had 2 offers. I accepted one and was able to get enough out to buy a Patio Villa.....closing on May 25th! Because I had a contract on the home in Fl, I will get the $6500 tax credit. The real estate commission thru Coldwell Banker is 4.5% if listing agent sells it, 5% if another agent/office sells it.

While I would have liked to get more from the sale of my home, timing was right to purchase there. It all worked out in my favor and I am thrilled. I will be a full time Villagers on September 1!!!
