The Result

919 Pottawatomie Street in Leavenworth, Kansas sold on July 8, 2026, over the list price with seller-paid closing costs, after 9 days on market, listed by Josh Seitz of Nelson Home Group, Keller Williams KC North. It went under contract on May 10, 2026 with FHA financing.

The sellers had owned the home about three years and had limited equity. Josh priced the home a little high on purpose so the sellers would still walk away with money after the costs of selling, then marketed it with signs, a feature on the Nelson Home Group website, and Facebook.

One offer came in. It was over the list price but asked the sellers to cover part of the buyer's closing costs, which put their net a little under list. The sellers accepted it because it did the two things they needed: it left them money at closing, and it gave them a long closing to find and close on their next home before moving.

The contract-to-close period ran 59 days by design, and the sellers closed on their next home the day before this sale closed. Read the full story: Should I Accept an Offer That Asks Me to Pay the Buyer’s Closing Costs?
