Unfortunate. While its technically a breach and you could void the sale... of course you don't wanna do that, and they know that...
That's about what she said - that technically I *could* take their deposit and then put the house back on the market, but of course that's NOT a way to go.
So I can't really do much about it. They have to present the request in writing, and it's possible this'll still go through on-time. Even if it doesn't, for NOW, they said they're still hoping for the 17th or 18th.
On the bright side...if it goes through on the 17th, that'll give me yet another excuse to party...
