This past Monday (July 15th) our house officially went on the market. The following day, it was on property tour in the morning and we had two showings that night. On Tuesday evening at about 11 p.m. we received an offer from one of the earlier showings. After talking it over with Elise, we slept on it and countered in the morning. After some interesting logistics (Elise was in Washington, IA and I was in Boston), we managed to pass the offer and counteroffer around for signatures. By noon on Wednesday (48 hours after the listing came active), the buyer had accepted our counteroffer and we were officially set as “Accepted Offer”!
We are now waiting for the inspections and paperwork to go through, but are scheduled to close on Aug 21st. Now it’s time to find a house in Minnesota!
