[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't. I'm emotionally attached. The realtor says they love it, and I'm worried about their dog having to go down the deck stairs to get to the yard (I have an old dog who will not do stairs). [/quote]

Well, then, why didn't you sell it to a younger family? My family would have loved your house (we're not looking, but other people like us are a dime a dozen in this area -- 2 kids under 3, an au pair, love using metro, etc).

If your house is desirable, and it sounds like it is very much so, you probably had multiple bids. You didn't HAVE to take the highest amount of money -- you could have chosen to sell it to a family instead of empty nesters, who will probably only live there a short time (because 3 levels at 50 is fine, but 3 levels at 70 is not) instead of it being a forever home for a family.[/quote]

Ugh we lost in a bidding war to a couple in their 50s.  I was heartbroken.  The sellers and I talked about antiques and maintaining the home - they were a gay couple - they ended up selling to a disgraced Bush staff person.  Still upsets me.  I hope they modernized the shit out of that property.  [/quote]
