Our house in KY finally has a good contract! Now we're just waiting for the inspections and then to closing by the end of the month. This is a 1500 sf 3/2 ranch on 5 acres, horse barn with 6 stalls, a tack room and huge loft space near Ft. Knox.
We put it on the market in March and got a contract for full asking price within a couple of weeks, but it had a contingency clause and they wanted all closing costs and prepaids. We got a second offer about 2 weeks later that was for full asking price and only $2K in closing cost assistance.
The first buyer then had 48 hours to either remove the contingency clause or void the contract. They chose to void the contract, although I understand from our realtor that the wife wanted to go ahead with buying the house but her H didn't even though they could afford to. Now I hear she's not speaking to him she's so mad!
We're underwater on it, but not as bad as we thought - we'll have to bring money to closing, but I'm glad it's finally done! YAAAAYYYYY!

Yay!! But I'm afraid to party with you until you close. I don't want to jinx it!

Yeah, me too! I can't wait to have DH go to the closing. I hate that we have to pay more, but we never expected to get a full price offer on the house as it is.
Party at our house after the closing!
