The house I'm trying to close on has been on the market for five months (sellers market, right now houses are typically disappearing a few days after going up for sale).

That would be the way to separate from your sisters with little pain at this point.

However the tenant had some issues (death in the family I believe) and basically disappeared about a year ago.
