Bid on a house

We put a bid on a house on Wednesday, then formalized the bid (in a contract) and put our house for sale yesterday. We've already had two showings today alone! Our house isn't listed on-line yet nor is a "for sale" sign out front, but it is obviously available for the realtors to learn about. We have an open house scheduled on Sunday, and we already have an appointment for a showing on Monday.

We have a house with 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms and an unfinished basement. It's about 20 years old, and we don't have many upgrades - there are some new windows, it was repainted recently (4 years), we have preventive maintenance on our furnace every year, we have an air conditioner, and we look after the house. Still, there are lots of new developments near us; which means an older house isn't as enticing as a brand new house (even if the new house is slightly smaller). We're hopeful, though!

Anyway, here's the house we bid on:

It's bigger than our house and was designed better (making it look much bigger): 3 bedrooms, 1 + 2x1/2 bathrooms (so confusing, but I assure you both "1/2" bathrooms have a sink and a toilet), a finished basement and an open concept kitchen / living / dining room. We don't need all that (I mean, really, 3 toilets?) but ... it has a very nice saltwater pool. I've always wanted a pool: I looooove to swim. Now, we may not get the house until the fall, which means we won't get to use the pool until the spring. And it's an environmentally friendly pool: it uses filtered saltwater instead of chlorine or bromine!
