The Godfather clip was awesome. Selling a home and buying another one is an enormous stress fest under the best conditions: appraisals, inspections, disclosures, escrow, mortgage approval... Take good care of yourself through this process and don't let anyone stress you out because enough stress can make the disease shine right through the Depakote. I think it's great that you held your ground. There will be other prospective buyers. I was just talking with an old and experienced realtor friend and he told me that the word around his office is that the market is changing; prices are at an all-time high but interest rates can't stay so low forever and a reasonable rise in rates could have tectonic effects on the housing market. People are motivated to buy now despite the high prices because we may never see interest rates this low again in our lifetimes. Good luck.
