FWIW, their home has only been on the market for this past year. They held out hope that their daughter would get her act together, but she didn't and the time came that they knew they'd have to move and raise their granddaughter themselves. What more does the HOA want at this point? The house is on the market, the price has even been lowered, and they WANT to move. I think the HOA should back off and allow these people to deal with the realtors and potential buyers without having to also deal with frivolous lawsuits.
Oh please I’m aware of the real estate market in parts of Florida, and the piddling amount they lowered the price sounds like a joke. The HOA has an obligation to its other members to enforce these restrictions, and from I can see, they’ve bent over backwards trying to accomidate these people. Personally I think the main issue here is that these people want to sit things out until they get the price for their home that they thing they deserve for it reguardless of current market value, so I don’t have much sympathy for them.
