Whose House?

Whose house this is I thought I knew

But that was before the contract fell through;

The deal was great, so it appeared

But they had to close first and my anxieties grew.

Passersby must think it weird

To discover the realtor’s sign disappeared

And then it was back aside the road

We won’t tell them it was us interfered.

Folks stopped to enquire, it was getting old

We couldn't say a second deal was on hold

We had to stay mum it was our secret to keep

But the counter was accepted, our house is sold.

We don’t have to show it, nor constantly sweep

We’ve been through a lot in the past few weeks

And all we want to do is go to sleep,

And all we want to do is go to sleep.

Just last week, on Wednesday, 7 days ago, a couple toured our home and made a full price cash offer.  On Friday another couple came through and upped the ante $20,000 above asking. The first couple countered. However, they had a contingency and they were having trouble with that contingency so we declined their offer. We countered back to the 2nd couple with the top price, and they accepted.
