A realtor emailed me this listing

It is an attractive piece of furniture.

The price is higher than Marketplace prices in my area but the fact that you don’t have to move it makes it worth paying a little more.

Before making a decision I would sketch out a rough plan of what you are taking with you and what space you will have for new things.

I would try to keep things sparse so you have room to acquire a few choice pieces in the years to come.
 

Call your realtor and if she doesn’t know, call the lawyer. They won’t be getting their share until the deal finalizes so you’d think they’d be hustling.
 
Odd no follow up on radon testing or the repairs needed as suggested in the inspection. No mention of whether the final price was $288,000.00. Maybe only me but for that amount I'd want the home in move in condition with no repairs needed.

The homes we've either bought or sold the relators were advising us continuously about everything, no surprises either way.

How much are Realtor fees? The typical real estate commission fee averages about 5 percent to 6 percent of the home's sales price. The exact terms of an agent's commission vary between sales and by which firm they work for.Jan 26, 2021

At 6% @ $17,230 sales commission one would think as Jules post a little hustle would be taking place. https://www.bankrate.com/real-estate/realtor-fees/

Wow! I'd have put the kibosh on that!!! I learned from a realtor friend that open houses are prime tools for realtors to find new clients, not so much for selling the house that's being toured.

Normally, yes. But in this housing market open houses sell houses.
 
I'm having a moving sale today and tomorrow. So far only 4 people stopped. One man picked up a bottle and dropped it and broke some Nortiake china. At least he offered to pay for it the broken items. One woman picked up these solid 12" tall brass candlesticks I have priced at $20. She asked what was the best I could do on the price and I said $15. She replied that was way too much and put them back.

We have set stuff out by the dumpster at the apartments and let whoever wants the stuff take it. Other trash people will haul it away. I really want to downsize even more. Husband says he’s never moving from here. 🙄. But pretty sure if I move, he will. 😂

Moving is the perfect opportunity to ditch possessions that weigh us down. Same with remodeling.
 
The seller PMed me on Facebook and asked if I still wanted it. She's giving it away now. Guess she didn't get any takers on her FB ad. That's how tough the market is here.

I had another realtor come this morning and look at the house. She didn't seem too enthused after seeing the standing water on the cellar floor. She said that would kill any potential sale. Well, what can I do? We've had heavy rain almost every day this month and I can't tell how the water if getting in.

Do you have a sump pump or can borrow or rent one?
 
They aren't allowed within village limits. I think the reason is they don't want homeowners pumping potentially tainted liquids out into the public domain where the houses are very close together.

I was talking to my neighbor about it and he said he has the same problem and has his dehumidifier going 24/7.
