The local Realtor in town here has several listings in our subdivision. Last week they began advertising an area wide "Open House" on some of their listings. Participating homes would all be available for viewing at the same time this past Sunday afternoon. Another Realtor from a different agency found out about the event and posted "Open House" signs at their listing. So, we decided to take advantage of the situation and put up our own set of signs.
The day turned out to be a major success, we ended up showing the house twelve times in just over four hours! It was crazy, but turned out to be a lot of fun. Two couples were really interested and one of them came back yesterday evening to look at the house again with their kids and discuss an offer. Those discussions quickly turned to numbers and numbers turned into a contract offer to purchase.
The purchase is contingent on them selling their house first, but an offer nonetheless.

Update: 8/6/2013
Received another offer on the house today (with no contingencies), so now we find ourselves in a very fortunate position of having two buyers trying to close the deal on or about Sept 13.
We're absolutely thrilled, but really hate knowing that one of these buyers won't get the house.
They are both great!

Update: 8/27/2013
The second offer was finally accepted due to no contingencies and a short closing date.
All inspections are now completed and the Closing is scheduled for Sept 6.
We are working like mad to sell stuff and get the new place set up for us.

Update: 9/2/2013
Empty house and final walk-through today.
Everything checks out OK and the buyer received final Credit Check and Confirmation from their bank.
At this point, we don't see any road blocks ahead for getting this financial "monkey" off our backs!
In other news, I see that Henny is working out the details on his steering wheel. He has his reasons to want that and I'm confident he'll do a superb job working out the details. What struck me though was how much smaller it makes the Center Cockpit appear.
I'm still leaning toward the Aft Cockpit configuration, but that decision is so far into the future that it's rather (depressingly) pointless to think about it now - even though I still do...
Next update should hopefully reflect a good closing and some bills paid off.
