So my husband and I are looking for a house to buy. We have been looking for a few months. Well his cousin is selling their house because of a divorce. Well they paid well well below the asking price of it now. Let’s just say they paid $100,000 . Well they told us they would sell for let’s say 150,000 so we are already pre approved for a loan do al we had to do was give the address and schedule a appraisal. Well that next day when we ask when could the guy come and look at the house they went up $5,000 on the asking price. Okay no big deal. We decided we couldn’t afford that. We were pushing it with the $150,000. So we decided we had to pass. Well a few days later they say what about $140,000 and we are so happy and jump on it. But the same thing happened again. When we asked when could the appraisal guy come they decided they wanted back at $155,000. Right after telling us we could buy it for $140,000. I was so upset and frustrated. I was so happy that we were finally gonna close kn a house but they went back up on the price so now we can’t get it. Well then my husband cousin decided to ask if we could help move her out of her house. And I’m over here like no. How do you do your family like that? I’m not helping and I don’t want my husband to help either. But my husband is going to help even after what they did to us. Am I in the right to be upset and not wanting to help. I know sometime our emotions can get in the way but I think I’m more upset with my husband for not being on my side of this. For telling me he doesn’t care how I feel about it he’s helping his cousin.
Did you ask his cousin why she keeps changing the price? It is possible that his cousin isn’t intentionally trying to change the price on you guys? She can’t determine the price alone. Her and her soon to be Ex might not be agreeing on price which is why she is tell you different amounts. It is also possible they realized divorcee is going to be more expensive then they thought and they need the money. It is also possible with everything going on she just isn’t in her right frame of mind right now. You won’t know unless you ask.
If they can’t decide on a price, eventually the courts will force an appraise but honestly the house isn’t worth it…you guys will be viewed as the people who took her house from her
