we've already sold our house and are having a party, while you are still thinking about it?

We've already sold our place and are celebrating, and you're still sitting on the fence?
Another possible phrasing - although I would highly suggest keeping "place" over house (applies to various forms of real estate) and keeping "celebrating" over having a party.
Note from asker:
| I do like the "sitting in the fence" part! Thanks a lot for the idea, Allison! |
| What about this version: We're celebrating a sale, and you're still sitting on the femce? Althogh it seems to me that the first part of the phrase lacks something... |

We've already closed and are celebrating! Are you still just getting ready?
For a real estate contact, I'd use "closed."
