@Michael S. I don't use a property management company, so no worries there. I think I can bypass involving a realtor commission since I already have an offer, no reason other than maybe for the paperwork of selling. My tenants haven't been around for a year either. They've been good so far, early payments, upgrading the landscaping, neighbors love them, few things I needed to fix for them. 

Adam, that is exactly what I was thinking. The neighboring houses on the same street are selling within a week for 50k over asking, it's insane. 

I have some great tenants that have recently began pressuring me to sell the house to them. I wasn't thinking about it much until they proposed it, and being how crazy the market is right now I'm really thinking it's an option. It's a class A house, with great schools in the neighborhood. I've had the house for about 11 years and did a lot of improvements to it. I bought my ex out of it when we split and tried to sell it back then, but was getting low ball offers, fast forward two years and I'm being offered 25k over what I listed it for two years ago. A realtor friend told me if I were to list right now to do it for 240k and there would for sure be a bidding war within a week. I mentioned the 240k to the tenant and he just came back to me with 245k. Their lease is until 12/1 and if anything I was thinking of listing in November. Any suggestions?
