Nicole:

Our daughter just bought a house in Southern California and they had a very hard time finding one they could afford. They weren't selling a house (they were renting) but they bought from a man who was buying another house from someone who was also buying another house! All three escrows had to be properly timed and, at one point, the whole deal was off but it came back to life and she just moved in a few weeks ago.

We can empathize.
