Update to my update...
Okay, so we went and looked at the house today, the realtor came and looked at our house. ?Shes taking pictures tomorrow and then getting it up on the market. ?She told us to wait a few days to bid on the house so at least ours is on the market to see if we get any showings. ?I am a little discouraged right now because we feel like the realtor is not making us feel like we will get the house we want, partly because we are offering a low offer, so now I'm just like whatever, I feel like I dont care anymore. ?I really talked myself into this house, grr. ?So hopefully we will get it, if not, I know there is a "perfect" house out there for us. ?I will keep you updated as we go along!
Re: Update to my update...
I tend to agree with RaeAnt, unless you have more detailed contingencies. For instance, you could write your offer to allow the sellers to continue to market the property (which they WILL want unless you're willing to under contract now and pay 2 mortgages), but then give you "the right of refusal." This means that if another offer comes in, you have first dibs, but you've got to decide in a very short time frame (like one day) to go under contract and pay both mortgages. Otherwise, you'll lose the house to other buyer.
If the sellers agree, it can buy you some extra time to sell and prevent you from getting into a bidding war. Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect them to even accept this unless your offer is fairly strong because the sellers can just wait for a better offer. Do you know if there's been much other interest in the property? Is it priced competatively with comparables, or can you justify your "lower" offer?
Cancer sucks.
Did you put in an offer yet?
Sorry, I wasn't trying to rain on your parade, just wanted to pass on the contingency info.
If it helps, the reason I know all this was because we lost our first buyer on DH's house this summer (I never lived there, long story). Our situation got really complicated, but it DID work out. I think that if it's meant to be, it will happen!
