Replace the line without having the information being printed one next to the other

Is it possible to replace the last output with, for example:

for i in {10..1}; do printf "Counting down: $i\r" && sleep 1; done

Since the widget is basically:

output=`for i in {10..1}; do printf "Counting down: $i\r" && sleep 1; done`
echo "$output"

It's not really possible to do this. That command would take 10 seconds to run, then print "Counting down: 1" even if I made \r delete the previous line in the output if it's not \r\n.

Thanks, man.
