Too Fast and Easy

I thought the whole selling and buying thing was a little easy.

The house situation is starting to get a little tense. We have two offers on our house with no conditions. Since we already said yes to one we are not doing the "highest offer" thing. I find that annoying even though you can get about 1% more for your house. If the first people have any problem after their inspection, we will do the highest offer thing.

The problem is the house we want to buy. They gave us the highest offer thing. So we had to go back and figure out exactly how much this house was worth to us.

Something similar happened to us when we bought one of our beach house a few years ago. Someone come in and offered 20% more than we did on the house. They gave us the option to match. We declined and bought another house.

If we don't get the new house we will stay in this house. The only reason we are looking to buy another house is because we can't agree on what we should do to renovate to this house.

Also since the real estate broker company has both houses they loose if we don't sell and buy the other one.
