I'd go with the local deal as well. Always a bit of a risk that it will fall through, but it doesn't sound like you'll have trouble finding a new buyer in a timely manner if need be.
Judy has a good point. I would still consider making the local buyer show his commitment to the transaction by putting up a deposit. Unless you think that they are true to their word...
