housing yo yo

So the sellers countered, and we decided to counter their counter. Before putting that bid in, our realtor called us back to inform us that the first house we liked is not completely sold; it may be going back on the market b/c the buyers are backing out. So we decided to at least do a walk thru since we were not able to do that, and go from there. Both sets of 'rents also came out for it. In short: we love it, it's huge. Al (realtor) is going to be calling us tomorrow once he makes the potential first buyers basically put up or shut up. In the meantime we are holding back counter-offering on the house we did and the sellers didn't give us a timeframe on which to response. Lets hope we hear back within 24 hours!!
