Do I still dare to dream?

[countrytweed]

Long story short... our dream house came up in our village, we scrabbled to get ours on the market and put in an offer which they accepted (following a very heartfelt letter that we're also in the village, feel like this is our forever home etc) pending the sale of ours.

Yesterday we had a very positive viewing (second viewing this Friday) and we've got two FTBs lined up to see it on Sat. Thing is, yesterday our dream house accepted an offer with a proceedable buyer.

My question is... if anything comes of this weekend's viewings, do we still stand a chance even though they've gone with the other buyer (ie if we were proceedable plus upped our offer slightly)?? I'm not ready to let go of the dream yet... 😥

@MovingToPlan We would be open to looking for something else but we only want to move within the village or very close by (I know... we're like one of those annoying ppl on Location Location Location 😂) as it's the loveliest community that we don't want to leave. Trouble is it's slim pickings (cos of desire to stay in a certain area) and it's November 😬 More might come up in New Year...?

In your situation where the sellers said once you’re proceedable it’s yours and it’s only been 2 days I’d go ahead and let them know your new situation. If I were the seller I’d be more interested in how easy the chain will be than slightly more money. There’s proceedable and proceedable - if your buyer is a FTB or cash buyer with nothing to sell than that would feel a good reason to go with you if the other offer involves a long chain.

Fair enough, we only wanted to buy in a specific street, it wasn't even a whole village! 😆 I'd seen the inside of several neighbour's houses by the time we moved in.

If other buyer has no chain unlike yourself, probably you don't stand a chance. If same position than you and you offer more, then maybe.

What have they said ?
