Dear So and So

I missed the delete window. Ah well.

The issue we have is that the same thing that is making it a good time to sell (residents, post docs, etc coming into town) means the rentals are really competitive. Since we're still in the period where the buyer could walk away, we can't sign a lease. So all the good stuff we've found - is gone.

Urghhh... This buyer walk-away period is a new thing in NC, isn't it? I can't recall having to deal with it the last time we sold a home, and definitely not the last time we bought one. Sure makes it tough to be a seller!

Yes - I don't know exactly when it changed, but it's definitely new. It wasn't in the contract when we bought this house 6 years ago. I've been scratching my head trying to figure out what in the world the drafters were thinking. I'm not sure they were.
