We are in the middle of our third contract - the first two fell through at various points in the process. It's been super frustrating and probably the most stressful thing we've had to handle as a couple. (A different kind of stress than our baby stories.)
We counter offered back and forth A LOT with this current buyer, but finally settled on a price we were comfortable with. (And I'm pretty sure we hate their realtor simply based on principle. Also, I'm convinced he's a Russian mobster.)
The buyers are using an FHA loan, which includes it's own regulations - mainly an additional inspection, which is always stressful as a seller. Our previous inspection went really well in our favor, so we're praying for similar results this time, too.
On the plus side, we'll have the house sold and we'll close in April, so we'll never have to pay a double mortgage payment on the old house and the new house. On the negative side, even though we're thankful for the price and simply having it sold, negotiating a lower price means we also will still have some credit card debt from fixing up the house.
I think right now, we're focusing on our perspectives - we want to be thankful for the house selling, and not focused on what could have been. And thankfully, Steve and I seem to have suffered from our "downward spiral of depression"-moments at different times, so we don't walk off the cliff at the same time.
Praying that our future inspections and appraisals go well!
