Eyaach. So the second bidders resubmitted their offer, which is good. We won't know if it goes through for several more days so in the meantime we are still keeping it clean all the time (or attempting to do so.) Their inspector came through and was very hardcore about everything apparently and found all sorts of problems that the other inspector didn't. But I'm assuming no news is good news and I've got to believe that if they were going to back out based on the inspection, they would let us know before our open house (when presumably if others were going to make offers, they would.) They knew we were screwed over once, so hopefully if they were going to withdraw, they wouldn't wait until the last minute.

I do have a better feeling about the couple. They sound like nicer people. And the woman who withdrew sounds like she's sort of under Daddy's thumb a little bit. Plus he bought her a beemer for her birthday. And the going theory is still that she withdrew after he decided there was something wrong with the place. Coddled, much? And we're not talking some sweet young thing - she's well into her 30s. This apartment holds so many wonderful memories for us that I'm quite happy to sacrifice a few dollars to have it go to someone who sounds a little less immature. And if it's not this couple, it'll be someone else. But I really hope it's this couple!
