So.

Long story short: we found out yeterday from our half-assed, dumb, ignorant landlady that the owner of the condo is putting it on the market to sell. That means, in essence, when someone signs to buy this place, we have three months to move.

Actually you're doing fairly well, it may not feel like it but that 3 month clause is unusal, or at least used to be. This from having been forced to move more then once by building sale.
Formerly (since laws can change) all they had to do was inform you of intent to sell, and then it would usually state in a lease that a sale of the property will void the lease and there by giving the new owners only 30 to tell you to get out. since property owners love to buy and sell property and buyers tend to want to do what ever they want with a property as soon as they get it.

(and some are real bastards and try to have the utilies shut off on day 10 & take the house down on day 15 to push the issue, this happened along with me at 17 being severed eviction papers by a county sherriff the day after the sale closed and the ulitiy guy was there having been told the property was empty and yes the bulldozer showed up day 15, it was an amazing stress full4 weeks. we had been told of the sale only 10 days before it happened because it was real estate developer offering alot of money for the place)

& wait one minute how is the land lady NOT the owner?
she's too incompetant to be a proffessional property manager

I'm going with as soon as a buyer sees you have 3 months, they'll bail and the place won't even be sold till right before your lease would be up.
That and someone at work was planning on finding a new place and moving the saem since her sublet was up, so even then I'm sure you'll be fine.
