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.

It’s a blessing in disguise…if you had bought the house you probably would’ve heard about the “deal” they let you have forever OR how they practically "gave " it to you!! Take your money elsewhere…pick a place new to you…one that suits you…not a place thats you will always be reminded it was theirs…get a place that will be just YOUR familys and not from a family member
My Fiancé’s dad just did kinda the same thing, in a way, to us about a car. We told him we were waiting for MY taxes to come, and we were wanting it. But then he kept accusing us of spending the money and lying about it, and kept telling my Fiancé we shouldn’t have moved out of my grandparents house (with 3 kids) because we needed that car before a home, remind you we already have a reliable vehicle it’s just getting rusty. After a while I told my Fiancé I don’t care anymore, I don’t want it. I don’t care what his dad needed the money for, I don’t care how much he needs it, I refuse to buy the vehicle off him now. But that’s just how I am
Cut your losses, that’s NOT family
Thats bullcrap and you have every right to be upset and feel the way you do and what if the shoe was on the other foot he wouldnt be happy about it
He better never complain about this cousin in the future because if he does you have all the right to not care,not hear it and not deal with it. Maybe he can deal with it better cuz he is used to being screwed over by family, family or not it doesn’t mean it should just be brushed off.
You can pick your nose and you can pick your friend’s nose but you can’t pick your family
Usually it’s a contract and they can’t go back… also houses are going for way more than they were 3 years ago. The house I purchased was originally sold for 200… we paid the owners 275… All Real estate is like that atm. Them going back and forth… getting your hopes up is awful though…
2 wrongs don’t make it right. In the end you can’t take it with you and neither can they. All you have is family and friends. Love all you can. Show happiness wherever you go. Something better will come along and you’ll be glad you didn’t get that house
So confusing when dealing things with Family!!?? I think you have every right to be upset, sorry and can’t really give you an answer just smile and get on with life !! 
Sometimes relatives are like that they just play with you head and the best is don’t tell them every thing
Once you get it appraised you only need to pay what the house is worth. They then don’t have to sell it to you if it’s well below the appraisal price but at least you aren’t over spending for a house that you can find somewhere else.
Nope I’m petty like that. Move you’re own shit
It’s his cousin deal with it but you don’t have to invite her to dinner!!! Or go to her new home. Shame on him for not supporting your feelings 
Unfortunately, FAMILIES like to milk other families.
Let your husband help… But sit in their yard with one of these 
and one of these…
I am with you. And I would cut all ties with them.
I’d tell him to get bent. Buying a home is the biggest purchase of your life shame on him for getting your hopes up and then letting you down over and over! And shame on your husband for brushing that off!
First rule of thumb whenever it comes to friends and family do not s*** where you eat don’t do business and don’t do anything that has to do anything to do with money. You will regret it or you will lose family or friends. Keep them out of that neck of the woods in your life!
That’s why a purchase agreement is signed before anything is put forward.
I wouldn’t help them they did you all wrong.
Tell you husband who I inportment you are his cousin
I don’t make any deals with family, never works out. Your husband should’ve been on your side.
Talk to your lender. Sometimes a loan will not get approved if the price is wayyy lower than the appraisal.
Now if it has nothing to do with that. Shitty moove.
Even if they go back to $140,000 do NOT buy that house. Save yourself now.
It’s hard with family don’t be mad at him. He is already dealing with shitty cousins. Kill the cousins with kindness and keep your distance after the move
Thank you ma for your genuine prayers . This is really incredible, and I have never experienced anything like this in my life. Before i met you Ma,i have tried every all possibly means that i could to get my husband back, but i actually came to realize that nothing was working out for me, and that my husband had developed lot of hatred for me… I thought there was no hope to reunite with my ex husband and kids. But when i read good reviews about your work ma, i decided to give it a try and i did everything that you instructed me and i Trusted in you and followed your instructions just as you have guaranteed me in 48 hours, and that was exactly when my husband called me… We are more contented now than ever. Everything looks perfect and so natural! Thank you so much for your authentic and indisputable prayer . Thanks Dr bathsheba for your help.

Tell them y’all can help with a small fee of 15gs
I wouldn’t help either
I’m with you on this
You have every right to be upset. He has every right to help his family member who is clearly in need going through a divorce.
I would go help just to see what is so wrong with the house that they so desperately tried to not have it inspected. And I would leave a perting shot of " Thank God we didn’t get screwed with that money pit" take your own car and leave after carrying out oh I don’t know a lamp. Second question did they actually sell the house for the $ 155,000 or will they even tell you. If they actually sold it for 155 or more, you really can’t blame them. Money talks, family walks, but still I would do the first part for jerking you around.
Your right to be upset,He shouldn’t be helping his cousin,and in doing so he’s betraying you.
Never do business with ANYONE unless you have something in writing ESPECIALLY family. When you buy a house ALWAYS get a contract.
Also, tell her you’ll buy the house for $155,000 if she’ll pay you $5,000 to help her move. 
U have every right to be upset…Kill her with kindness… Help her… but talk about all the other beautiful houses y’all are looking at 
just cuz this house fell thru doesn’t mean God doesn’t have the perfect house waiting on y’all 
Never count favors, cause if u do its not a favor. Let ur hubby help his cousin and be done with things. In the long run ull either get the house for a cheaper price, or u wont. As for cousin and price gouging i personally wldnt buy the house from him if he dripped the price 20,000.00, cause right is right and wrong is wrong and the cousin will probably end up losing their butt on this house, simply due to his greed. Remember money is the root of all evil and said cousin is proving that. Let them learn a lesson over their home. It infuriates me when people try to rip other folks off! They eventually meet their karma hon. Good luck finding urself a home to buy. This is a sign of better things to come.
Let him help no way in hell would I help them.Family is the worst to deal with.
Unfortunately. Land is going up right now. They probably got it appraised, and it’s now worth more than what they originally got it for.
Never,ever do business with family or friends!! Simple as that😊
Blessing in disguise. Move on
