receiving multiple offers

Who knew we'd ever get to this point.

After impatiently watching the Yellow House sit on the market for 51 days, we have received numerous offers.

Two offers.

We kinda expected the first offer. It hasn't come through yet because they're still shopping around for a mortgage. But their realtor assures us we'll have one soon.

I was so surprised though when after Sunday's showing we were told the potential buyers wanted to put in a bid.

I should be excited an offer was put in.

But the offer was so low, it was insulting. Dad2Amara and I didn't even dignify their bid with a counter offer.

So we're now hoping the first time home buyers from Saturday's showing will be approved for a mortgage.

Or hoping that the people from Sunday realize that I'm not desperate to sell the house...yet.

I hate that our future lies in some stranger's hands.

Welcome to the real estate market 2008!
Potential buyers will throw out any offer, because so many people ARE desperate to sell.
Hopefully the 2nd will be better.
