we contracted ours about a month ago as well. got a cash offer and part of the negotiation was that we got to close when our new house is done at the end of May. inspections all cleared. felt good not to have to keep it showing ready 24/7 anymore and not to have to move twice.
We listed our house last Thursday, got a cash offer on Friday sight/unseen. Countered on Friday night, approved on Sunday.
We showed the house one time while we were in the middle of negotiation with the first buyer, but that was just to try and get a backup as necessary.
My realtor said it was the most bizarre thing he's seen in 16 years. He's never seen anyone offer 98% of list, cash, no showing, the day after listing. Certain parts of the contract were actually dated the day we listed, so they had started drawing it up on one day and finished the next.
Granted, we staged the crap out of the house and hired a pro photographer to do the pictures.
We have our inspection Thursday.
