The house is now listed at $385k and the offer came in today for $325k. We countered with $370k and they countered with $345k. We counter-countered with $362k and they say they want to stay at $345. The issue is that the offer is contingent on them selling their house (the realtor called it a "hubbard clause" and the offer paperwork he sent me calls it "sale of buyer's property contingency". <br> <br> As I understand the legal mumbo-jumbo, he has until Sept 17 to have a signed contract on his house for selling it and if he doesn't, we will cancel his offer. I also understand that we can continue to keep our house listed on the market and if we get a better offer, he has 2 days to prove to us he can buy our house or we cancel his offer and take the other offer. Am I understanding this all correctly?<br> <br> I'm not entirely comfortable asking my realtor since he's representing both of us (and the sale of the buyer's other house). <br> <br> I am inclined to accept the offer since it's been on the market for 4 months, and the market is tanking and that it's the end of the summer and things are about the slow way down anyway. I just want to make sure I'm understanding the contingency correctly. I don't know any realtors, so I turn to the brilliant hive mind.<br> <br> I am totally green about all this and I'm really nervous. In fact, I've decided I'm never buying or selling real estate again!!! Ugh!!<br> <br> Thanks everyone! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.45345 Sun, 27 Aug 2006 14:58:32 -0800 buying clause home hubbard realtor selling SheIsMighty http://ask.metafilter.com/23756/Where%2Dthe%2Dthetans%2Dat For a mysterious reason, <a href="http://sf.irk.ru/www/ot3/otiii-gif.html">this Russian chap</a> has removed access to pages 6 and 15-20 of OT III (in the original handwriting).
