Selling a home and relocating to another state

[TripleAAA]

So I'm hoping someone out there might be able to give me an idea on how I can do this. I'll try to keep this as simple as possible without all the fluff:

I'm moving from California to Kentucky (Lexington) for grad school which will begin in the Fall (late August). My house is up for sale and there is a huge influx of sellers right now and not enough buyers (yes, the bubble is bursting).

My worry is that I won't be able to sell the house in time for school to start. I don't want to rent the home out because I'm planning on buying a home in Lexington once my house here in CA sells.

Besides dropping the price ridiculously low, are there some other options? Basically I'm looking for some type of "delayed mortgage payment" or way to afford having the house for sale, while still in Lexington. I won't have the income that I have now once I move to Kentucky.

what is the condition of the home? is it in a great location? dont use a realtor, use assist to sell...

clean it up, give it curb appeal and get rid of all the clutter

make it show nicely

The home is only two years old and in a great location in town. My only problem is that there are about 10 other homes within a few blocks of mine that are for sale and pretty much offer the same thing. It's super clean, but as a college student, I can't afford sprucing up the front or back yard. It's well kept though...lawns are nice and what not.

I should also mention that I have three female roomates that I rent out the rooms to. This covers my mortgage payment for the most part, however if I'm not around as much as I am now, the place would go to hell in terms of how clean it is.

Really not much you can do then to lowball the price or keep your fingers crossed.
