oh great...
Jun. 30th, 2004 02:05 amGot a message from the lawyer today... seems the buyer for our house is having some "financing issues" and wishes to push the closing out by two weeks, from 7/9 to 7/23.
Uh right... this was supposed to be a "cash sale", remember? What's this "financing" bit all of a sudden? Only good thing is that the purchase&sale agreement doesn't have a financing contingency, so they supposedly have to come through somehow. If we amend it to push the date out, I'm going to ask for some kind of financial penalty clause if they end up unable to make the deal happen...
Of course, these were the same folks who initially offered us $1000 more if we could move the closing up from 7/16 to 7/9... go figure.
On the one hand, it would be good to have the extra two weeks breathing room for moving out... as it stands it's going to be tight to make 7/9, but we're determined to bust our butts to do so (help gratefully accepted, bribes negotiable :) ). We just want to get this over with already!!
