So quick! And what relief it must be not to have to keep the house immaculate. :) I like the idea of the non-traditional family moving in too. It's such a lovely home, Anne. I'm glad it won't be rented. Wow! So quick! And what relief it must be not to have to keep the house immaculate. :)

The buyers are parents buying it for their student daughter to live in, which on the surface is one of the scenarios we wanted to avoid, for the sake of our neighbors. But. The daughter is pregnant but intends to finish up her senior year on time anyway; wants to be in walking distance in order to stay most involved with her friends, access to classes and faculty, etc. The boyfriend is in the picture but forbidden by the parents from moving in. Once the baby comes, mom will move down for the rest of the academic year to help with the baby. They plan to stay probably 2-3 years at this point, maybe more depending on how life after college goes. So there should be a lot fewer loud parties than the other house on the block that was bought for student children - especially once mom moves in. A family, of a sort. The other offer, which was less money, was also an investor who planned to rent it out - less attractive in all ways (thank goodness for small favors, would have been harder if money and story votes went to different offers).

That's wonderful, and we hope it all goes through. What do you know about the buyers? They're just moving to town? With the college? Anyway, sleep tight. Much love, Mom and Dad Wow!
