we got an offer on our house!!

We got a decent offer on our house yesterday...and according to our realtor we have another offer coming in tonight!!!

It's only been on the market for 5 weeks so I am feeling pretty darn lucky, considering what time of year it is. Chat Icon

We closed on our new house last week, and I am just SO grateful that we won't be carrying two mortgages for much longer!! Phew.

The offer is only $5,000 below asking, plus they want another $5,000 at closing. They don't have a house to sell, and they can move in asap.
We're waiting for the other offer to come in before making any decisions. Chat Icon YAY!

Excuse my ignorance, but why would you give 5k at closing to them?

LOL, you are not ignorant, I have no clue either.

I think it's because they don't have the cash available to cover the closing costs. But can't they get a mortgage to cover that?

I am totally clueless when it comes to this stuff. Anyone know??? Chat Icon

It's a sellers concession..as long as your get your money you are saying it's ok that they are financing it instead of asking for it up front.

Congrats!
