Bitcoin is too volatile for even the most routine transactions, which is why many retail operations are backing off of accepting it. Also, transactions can take hours or days to confirm. This seems especially ill suited to real estate transactions that normally require precision financial agreement and confirmed transfers at time of closing. Also, there's that whole bubble risk, so that maybe your bitcoins will tank and become worthless before you can cash them out. If the value changes dramatically during closing, expect one or both parties to alter the deal or try to back out. Nope, not a good idea in my mind.
