House Woes

I have to write another house selling update because it's what I think about so much of the time...okay, I will admit it, I am obsessed! It's just really annoying. Every house in our neighborhood that has been listed since we listed ours has sold already. Our neighbors just put their house up for sale, so now there are three houses in the cul-de-saq for sale, so that is not going to help the situation! We got an offer the other day, but it was way too low. We gave them a reasonable counteroffer, fully expecting them to counter back, as most people do, but they didn't. They said they were maxed out at their first offer, but then they said they will be willing to listen to another offer if we wanted to try again. What?!? Obviously they don't know how negotiations work. Idiots! We did put in three more counteroffers, hoping that one will be what they are looking for. Our realtor called yesterday and said the buyers were away until July 5th. Hmmmm....no cell phones? So weird! Why can't we just get a normal buyer to buy our house? I just want to be done with it all. I want to be in a house before school starts so bad, but it is looking more and more like that is not going to happen. So sad...I hate to be negative, but we need to get an offer and settle on it in about 3 weeks if we hope to be in a house by the end of August. Yikes! I really thought that by putting our house on the market in March that we would have enough time to sell it. I keep saying that things work out the way they are supposed to, but it's so hard to see how it is all supposed to be when you are right in the middle of the situation. Hopefully, the next time I write a post about houses it's that we have sold it, and we have found the perfect house for our family!
