They countered, I countered, and now I'm just waiting for their response.

I had hoped to be able to move in before closing and pay rent or something to the sellers for a month but of course I decided on one of the only houses that is actually inhabited. Alas...here's to a month of couch surfing and moving twice (once to storage, once to a --hopefully this--house).
