Rapid Hope Loss
March 06, 2006
As of right now I am still unsure if I'll be closing on my condo tomorrow. It looks like the previous owner has a lawsuit against them for something and although it shouldn't be a huge problem it may set it back up to a couple of weeks. We only knew about this lawsuit a week ago. Apparently the lawsuit is pretty simple, cut and dried. Both sides have agreed upon a settlement price and me buying this condo may be delayed simply because the lawyers haven't gotten anything in writing. Once all the parties sign then we can close. I've been told this can happen today or if the people take their sweet time it could take up to a couple of weeks.
What a joke, huh!?
I'm hopeful today may be the day as I'm sure everybody just wants to get this going, but then again I've been about this close before on two other properties and they didn't happen. My real estate agent, broker and even my mom told me that these kind of things happen fairly often when buying a house and that I shouldn't feel as though I'm any exception. But that doesn't make it any easier. I've been living in a state of limbo, the state of "half-moved" for the better part of a year. I'm sick of it. It's time for this chapter to be closed and another to begin. Hopefully it happens today.
