$10,000 after 3 years isn't all that much in the real estate market.

Perhaps you believe they should give their house away?
No, I don't, but thanks for asking.

Then again, the reason no one's bought it yet can probably traced back to the HOA to begin with...
Perhaps. The point is that the grandparents, failing to take into account life's situations can change, made an affirmation via legal contract they wouldn't have anyone living in their home who was under 18 years of age....then they knowingly and willingly violated that contract.
'Thou shalt not bear false witness' IS a law, and these people violated it.
As much as I detest HOAs, I believe the 3 years is an exceedingly generous amount of time.
Yes it is, but apparently the sellers here feel their potential for a loss on the sale of their property should take precedence over the legal restrictions they willingly agreed too. Screw 'em.
