<prompt> Human: Thank you everyone for all the advice. I asked my realtor if we could add a time is of the essence clause, up the deposit and add a bonus to the agent who brought A buyer. She said no to all three. I had originally stuck with this agent because my fiancé insisted on using her. Hes pretty mad that Ive cut ties with her and thats a new dynamic that I dont quite understand. I got a final offer on my house that was really low, so low that I was only going to break even on it. I accepted and the buyers backed out 5 days later and the reason they gave was that they couldnt afford the payment. Because buyers in California have 17 days to back out I dont receive any earnest money. Ive taken my house off the market and severed ties with my agent. Its been almost three months since Ive put my house on the market. A house similar size as mine but without an updated kitchen it has a white porcelain counter and I have granite was just listed 40k higher than mine and after talking to the buyer theyve received a nearly full price offer. Im thinking my house probably looks like something is wrong with it due to it being on the market so long. I guess Ill hold on to it for another year or so and try again. Thanks for reading this novel and for all the advice :Original post:So as stated, I cant sell my house. The house was built in 2011. I bought it dec 2014 for 255k. I am in the Central Valley of California. My house is part of a planned community that was half built when I bought my house. The houses built after I bought my house are roughly 1000 square foot larger and cost about 100k more. The house has granite, wood floors, new carpet 2017 and has been painted with a fresh coat of paint. It is in a gated complex with access to a pool, water park and playground.I am getting married in 26 days and my fiancés house is a bit bigger and better equipped for a growing family. We listed my house 2 months ago for 279,900. Right off the bat we got an offer for 274,000. We talked them up to 275,000 and accepted the offer. Two days later theyve backed out, saying they were going with new construction instead. We have had 8 offers on the house and have accepted 6. All of the buyers backed out within 24 hours. Some have given reasons for backing out such as they found out they were relocating the next day or They found out their interest rates would be 8.This past Saturday we accepted an all cash offer of 267 and said she could close in 12 days. This woman had previously offered 240 and we told her no. We accepted the offer of 267 on Saturday. Sunday morning, our realtor called us and said the woman backed out because she was driving Through the neighbor hood and saw a do not dig sign placed there because of a high pressure gas line. Apparently this freaked her out and she backed out. We lowered our asking price to 269,900, but Im not sure that was the right thing to do since we have had no trouble getting offers at the higher price.We are not in financial trouble and can afford to make mortgage payments on both houses, but would obviously rather only have one house. We have considered renting but due to the strict hoa rules have decided that its not a great option with this house.Does anyone know what the issue is here? Any advice? Do we need a new realtor?Thank you so much for reading this!  <response>: This was probably mentioned in response to your original post, but buyers should not be surprised by the size of their paymentsinterest rates. They should be submitting a pre-approval letter for their loan along with their offer. In getting that letter they should be made aware of an estimated monthly payment.
