I’m Finally Off The Market – Maybe

Well, here I am sitting outside my home while they (the buyers) are having an inspection done of the house. Yep. I finally got an offer that I accepted on the sale of my home.

I debated a bit on whether or not I’d do this post yet because escrow has just opened and I don’t want to jinx anything. It’s not a done deal until the contingency has passed, the escrow has closed, and title has changed hands. But I have to say right now, I am feeling major relief. It feels like it’s been a long road.

Remember the agent who tried to negotiate a verbal offer and then couldn’t come through? Well, after I lowered my selling price, they did come back and offer a bit more. After taking in several more appointments to show my home, I felt that they really did have the best offer that I was likely going to get. So, five months later, I think my home is sold.

As I’m finishing this post, the buyer’s agent just came up to me and told me the inspection went well overall. So far so good. My fingers are crossed for a smooth closing.

(By the way, that’s the cozy backyard that I hope the new owners will be enjoying soon.)
