It's been quite some time since my last update. Lots has happened. Nathan and I have been sick with two colds, and this week I have upper respiratory, laryngitis and a massive ear infection. Spending the days working from home and trying not to let my anxiety and frustration get the better of me.
Our short sale has been in jeopardy, as BoA approved the purchase price (which included a closing credit of $4600) but they declined the credit and some of the fees. After going back with a counter offer to them, with the fees reduced and telling them that the buyers planned to withdraw if the closing credit were denied, BoA in their infinite stupidity and greed, denied the credit a second time. We were desperate to retain the buyers and make the short sale stick, so we offered to pay the closing credit directly to them. Even with offering them everything they were asking for - they still notified us they intended to withdraw.
Heartbroken, and sick to my stomach, I am fighting my way through the rest of this week but it's been such a struggle. It's been an enormous challenge to wrap my head around losing our buyers and the house going back up on the market. We're exploring other options, primarily deed in lieu of foreclosure and so hopefully one way or another we will get this resolved, and get moved. That's all I can bear to report for now.....
