Second Offer Soon

January 13th, 2015 at 12:57 am

The second set of buyers got their financing and are currently having their offer written up by our realtors. The first set is being super impatient about getting an answer to their offer, even though they only made it on Saturday afternoon. But they can be impatient. This is a big decision to make and I am not going to rush it without having the other offer in hand. Plus they didn't put a time limit on how long we have to consider it.

I mean we will make the decision tonight, I am sure, but we won't before we have all the information in place. Waiting a few days is not going to be the end of the world for these people. I know it is hard to wait in this day and age of everything being fast, fast, fast, but some things still take time.

I kind of think they thought we would snap up their offer immediately because of the length of time the house has been on the market. But the thing is, we don't NEED to sell it. Yeah, it would be nice to have it gone and the money in the bank and it would make life easier. But we are not desperate enough to just take anything. It wouldn't hurt if they were a little worried now about the tightness of their offer and were second guessing themselves.

I don't want to be greedy. I just want to be reasonable and have the offers be reasonable, too.

    Hoping really big good offer thoughts for you!

    I don't think anybody can blame you for wanting to compare the two offers. House selling is a really large transaction, it's perfectly reasonable to want to consider all the options carefully before you go under contract.

    It is nerve wracking not to hear on an offer. So excited you have two offers to consider!! This worked to our advantage in selling one of our homes. Do both parties know there are two offers?

    CCF--It definitely can be stressful not to hear. Everything with house buying and selling is very stressful. Yeah, both parties know there are two offers.
