We are going through this right now as we speak. Time was on our side and we listed our house on welist.com and got tons of response and 3 offers (a little low). So we put it on MLS and within 3 to 5 hours had two showings and the next day got 3 solid offers, it was kind of crazy, we played it safe and took the best offer, since we are building another home we didn't want to take any chances of getting stuck with 2 mortgages. Even the next day after we had C/S we had tons of phone calls for showings but they were cancelled due to the fact that our home was C/S. But as mentioned in the last few comments we noticed a lot of younger couples and first time home buyers. The price of our home was fair and the home shows well. We listed the home in Monterey Park area (NE) for around $337,900 and have C/S for $327,000. I think if we would have wanted to be more greedy we could have waited for more $$$ but with a young family I didn't want to chance it. There is a lot of people it seems out there attracted to houses listed in the $300,000 to $370,000 range.
