House woes continued
So Princess Buyer still won’t deign to give us her list of repairs. Our agent has told her agent that they need to get us their amendment as soon as possible when they have all the information they’re waiting on — no 8:00 p.m. on Monday, the day her extended due diligence period ends. And we’ve told our agent that if they request another extension or anything else, we won’t agree to it until we have their repair amendment in hand. It seems pretty obvious to us at this point that Princess Buyer can’t actually afford to buy the house and is trying to see how deep our pockets are for making repairs for her. We’re trying to make it clear that they’re not very deep, and if that will kill the deal we’d rather know that now rather than later so we can go back to showing the house and maybe find a real buyer. (I guess we’d go back to showing the house, though I really dread the thought. Of course, I dread the thought of staying here, too.)
I’m waiting until tomorrow to call our agent for an update on the bridge loan contingency on the house we’re trying to buy. If it looks like it’s going to take anywhere near the full 15-day period to get that resolved, we need to go ahead and push the closing date out now.
I hate all this and it’s making me miserable.
