No Deal [:(]

So...the deal on our existing house just fell through.  Sad  Their home inspection found all these minute little things that we think scared the crap out of the buyers so they bailed.  We offered to fix/pay for a bunch of them, but not all.  Plus, apparently we have elevated levels of radon, and now we have to disclose that as well to future potential buyers.  (Don't even get me started on what I think of radon mitigation systems for unfinished basements!)  This has just turned into a nightmare.  Our realtor says we have another offer waiting for us tomorrow but I just foresee the same thing happening since they are first time buyers and will probably get scared of an old house, too.  Oh, well....back to the drawing board.  It seemed to have been going way too well anyways.  Oh, and to just add to my bad day....my brother was in a car accident and totaled his car.  He's okay for the most part...just bumps and bruises, but still, that put a huge scare on our family on what was already a trying day.  Okay, vent over.

Re: No Deal [:(]

  • Ugh Jill that really sucks about the house and your brother's accident.  I'm sorry you got bad news.  I hope the new offer works out better!!!  Oh and I'm with you about the radon mitigation things.  I've been noticing that every single townhouse like ours ends up having them installed before they are re-sold now and it ticks me off.
  • Oh no!  I'm so sorry Jill, about the house and about your brother's accident.  I sure hope things work out for you w/ this new offer and that your brother recoups quickly. 

    Keep us updated!

  • Oh Jill I'm so sorry!  I'll be hoping things work out with this new offer . . it may even be better!  I hope your brother heals up well too.
  • Aw, Jill, I'm sorry.  What a crappy day.  I hope the next potential buyers work out and that your brother heals quickly.  Keep us posted.

  • Oh bummer about the house Jill!  How frustrating and I'm sorry you have to deal with the stress.  Maybe this offer will be even better?  I'll cross my fingers for ya and keep us posted. 

    I'm so sorry to hear about your brother.  I'm glad he is ok and recovers quickly. 

  • That sucks about your house.  I'll keep my fingers crossed that the buyers  that are waiting will not be scared off.

    And I'm glad your brother is ok! 

     

  • All of that really sucks!!

    I agree with you on the radon.  Hopefully the next people will be totally in love with the house and jump at the chance.  I hope your brother is ok and it isn't a nightmare dealing with insurance.

  • Aw Jill, I'm so sorry to hear that your deal fell through. There were so many interested buyers so hopefully this is just a temporary set back.

    I'm glad your brother is okay. Car accidents are so scary. I hope his bumps and bruises heal quickly.

  • oh jill, i am sorry to hear this!  you had so many viewings, i am sure someone will jump right in and bid soon!
