My last tenant officially vacated Nov 1st 2014.

It looks like their REALTOR has kept the property on the market and a number of other cash buyers may have submitted competing offers and are now waiting for this to not go through to drop their bids in officially - the seller had two properties on the market next door to each other at the exact same price and the other one sold and went to closing in 2 weeks.
