The deal that fell through<\/a> is on again. Late Friday morning, I received a call that the offer that beat me out had collapsed and the property was back on the market. So I made a last-minute trip north to inspect it in person. It looked as good as it seemed online, so I told my agent to prepare an offer.<\/p>\n

Then, since I was most of the way to Boston Bar<\/a>, I decided to take my friends who have a summer home there up on the standing invitation to visit them, since it was going to take a few days to prepare all the paperwork needed in making a contingent offer anyhow.<\/p>\n

It’s all been signed, so now comes the waiting. There’s still a frightfully large number of ways this all could fall through:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The seller accepts someone else’s offer (not out of the picture, given how quickly that place attracted the first offer).<\/li>\n
  2. The seller does some random flaky thing (also not out of the picture, given how the seller jumped on a quickie offer so soon instead of doing the more typical thing of waiting for multiple offers to come in, if one offer comes in surprisingly fast).<\/li>\n
  3. My current place either fails to sell, or fails to get an offer for enough money to afford the place in Bellingham (also a possibility, given how slow interest has been in it so far).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
