Greater Short North Homes in contract with escape clauses:

(1) A three bedroom three bath 1620 sf condo on Dennison Place is in contract contingent on the sale of a home. It is listed at $270,000.  Because of the contingency, an interested buyer could conceivably swoop in and make an offer that would force the hand of the current buyers in contract with the home sale contingency.

(I’m surprised that there aren’t a few more of these, ala Empty Nesters in Columbus suburbs selling their homes and moving to be closer to the action. Maybe the Spring and the impending end of the $6500 tax credit will bring some more home sale contingencies-though Sellers aren’t generally accepting them unless the Buyer’s homes are in-contract and past the inspection period)
