WALKING AWAY
I canceled the house deal.
Some things just aren't meant to be. Sometimes, you just gotta cut your losses and walk away thinking about the hidden blessings that could result. This is one of those times when you are so frustrated that nothing worked out, but happy that it turned out that way. After so many troubles of closing on this particular house, what I found on Friday was the last straw. I've had it.
On our final walk through, we found major leakage in the foundation of the house and about a foot of standing water underneath the wood deck in our backyard. Our carpets were soaked and you can only imagine the horror of finding all that water outside our house. Needless to say, there was no point in keeping the deal. We canceled the purchase and instead put in an offer on the house next door. The house next door just came on the market...it's got the same floor plan and it's better maintained. And the best part is because of the market drop, it's CHEAPER.
Wish us luck!
