Nothing like one's inlaws suggesting a visit next weekend to light a fire under one's backside. It's almost as good as the housewarming party as a motivator.

It's under agreement? Yay! I must have missed that in your LJ.

Yes, we signed the purchase-and-sale on Feb 1, and the closing is scheduled for Feb 28 (assuming the buyers get their mortgage).

It only took 5 days from the first newspaper appearance of an ad for the house, until we had two offers. The offers being comparable, we took the one from the more-stable sounding couple, who also offered to let us leave our junk in the attic (perhaps they'll scrounge through it and make an Ebay killing in old ice skates and outgrown clothes).
