They countered . . .

with a reasonable offer, just $1,000 under our counter offer.  But now we're not sure what to do.  The house has only been on the market for 4 days.  Do we take the offer, or do we say no, hoping we'll get a better one?  This is a firm offer--absolutely no contingencies.  We'll be able to put an offer in on another house knowing that this house is sold.  And they don't need to close until the end of August.  But we were hoping to get closer to our asking price, so we'd have a better down payment on any place we want to buy.

And we don't have to sell.  If we don't get a better offer, we wouldn't sell.  In fact, several things have happened related to Wild Man and school which mean we do not have to move this summer, as we'd thought (I'll explain this in another post).  We could just stay here.  But we've already packed up so many things.  If we do that, I'd feel like we'd wasted the last 7 weeks, which isn't completely accurate. 

I have no idea what to do.
