Well, the buyer used her inspection contingency as a way to back out of the deal and still keep her earnest money, so our Courtland Place house is for sale once more. I’m going over there today to mow the lawn and vacuum the carpet and make sure things look good. Wish us luck!
…the inspection of our old house on Courtland Place. Please send us good thoughts. We got the offer Sunday night. It was a VERY low-ball offer. We had just lowered the price Wednesday of last week.
