[quote=Anonymous]We bought a place this summer and saw a lot of houses in which the sellers openly stated in their listings they would not consider an offer with a home sale contingency.  There's nothing to lose in making an offer, but I would think the fact that your place is not even listed yet will make the offer a much harder sell.

We also have 2 kids and jobs and it was really hard to get our place ready to list, so I feel you.  In the end it took DH taking almost a week off from work and me taking the kids out of town for a long weekend.  We didn't make any offers until our place was under contract.  The house we bought accepted our offer which was contingent on our closing but that was largely bc we had a really strong buyer and our closing took place well in advance of the sellers' desired closing date.

I agree with PP that your best bet is to get your place listed and hope you get a long rent-back.  Our realtor convinced us that this was the best scenario for us and it absolutely was.  Good luck OP!
