This thread is a nice mix of honest advice, irrelevant bullshit, e-peen, and insults. I figure you've got all you can hope to get out of it at this point.
So go buy something already.

isnt that every thread here?

Not every thread has the honest advice part. But yeah, that was my point.

Well, our buyers are being totally nitpicky on their inspection. Trying to get me to run a gas line and insulate/drywall my garage, before they lift conditions. Good luck with that.

IDK what business you're doing but I'll take that!

I would want them to RAISE the offer by 20k.

Remind me to make an offer of his house when he lists it.

Or that lol

At this point I'm hoping they try to back out so I can get my lawyer involved in a claim. If I can keep their deposit I will be pursuing it to the fullest. I dont expect things to get that interesting however.

It'll most likely be that both parties walk away...
not sure if there's some clause where if you sell for example 10k less than their offer, then you pursue through small claims your losses (the 10k differential, any carrying charges for the duration between their closing and new closing date i.e. mortgage interest only, utilities, taxes, insurance, etc)

how did it get all the way to lawyer if you're still in c/s stage?

[Cagare]

Always fun. If they really wanted to get out of it they could just claim they cannot get financing and walk away.

It hasn't. We're still at the Beyond Armchair Arbitration stage. Next step after that is the Beyond Backroom Casting Couch, then after that, real lawyers get involved.

With a normal person id say thats what they'd do but these buyers have got to be on the wacky side for them to want prae to run a gas line and insulate a garage to waive conditions unless those were in violations of something

[msommers]

Hot market for sure! Prices in our condo building continue to be listed lower and lower as months and years pass on. Talk about a wise investment while also paying condo fees!!

Stick an end of a garden hose into the ground near the gas meter.

Tell them you used aerogel insulation in the garage and that it's invisible to the naked eye.

These sold for $1MM when they were built.

One of them sold on the 14th for $649K and was 2 years newer. Brutal.

I heard there was a huge special assessment at this complex at one point.

This might be the most expensive house in Calgary for sale right now:

Doesn't even have a swimming pool. This is what happens when commoners get money.

[killramos]

They have condos in Aspen? lol

things can always get wackier. I deferred a vasectomy while we sell our house so that I'm physically able to pack and move. I'll be billing these would be buyers for my condoms, saved in a shoebox labelled "Exhibit #1", to be disclosed as evidence in small claims court.

The whole complex had massive exterior work, covered in scaffolding/netting for >1yr. It was in the high 5/low 6 figures per unit IIIRC. Jordan would probably know, we talked about it back when it was coming down the pipe.
