The seller on our original house came back and offered to give us $6,000 back at closing if we came back to the house. Apparently, he was disappointed that the house didn't sell fast after we left. This was an attractive offer given the radon and septic issues at the new property. Jodie and I felt we could move right into the house and bank the $6,000 to use in the event the septic system has issues or if we sell the house and the new buyer wants some concession.
The sellers on the new house have offered us a total of $11,000 in a combination of cash back at closing and escrow funds. That almost covers the cost of both radon mitigation systems and a new septic.
After some going back and forth on our decision, we've decide to stay with our "second" property. It will involve a little more money on our part, but we like the house and sellers better than the first house.
