Unbelievably Sucky Situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay so, this whole situation with our house just sank to a new level of crappiness! I just have to tell the story. So a, we put our house up for sale as many of you know. We were so excited when we got an offer after only 2 weeks. Then we found a great house, made an offer and didn't expect to hear back for months because it was a short sale. Well, luck was on our side and our offer was accepted in just over 2 weeks. We were all smiles:) Then the poo started hitting the fan a little at a time. It all started when our buyers had a death in the family. They asked us to extend our closing date 10 days. Of course, we willing to do that because of the circumstances. That all ended up working out because we were going to close on both houses the same day and then move right into our new house... great! Well, then our buyers had another set back and asked us to extend another week on closing. We were less enthused and beginning to get a little annoyed. But it turned out that we didn't really have a choice because they wouldn't have the money to close for another week. So we had to ask for an extension on the house we are buying as well. Luckily, they were okay with that. But it was really frustrating because that pushed our moving date out 2 weeks. So if you all are wondering why we're still here... that would by why. WELL..... you'll never guess. We got some more bad news today. The guy who is buying our house had a stroke last night!!!!!!!!! I know I should be feeling really sorry for this family because they are obviously cursed. But I'm just so annoyed and frustrated that it's hard to have sympathy because they're bad luck has really screwed up our situation. We're going to lose a lot of money and the house we really wanted. There's still a shred of a chance that things will still work out. The guy will recover from his stroke in time to close the deal. I'm really not counting on that though. So our house is back on the market. Stay tuned!!!

Do you have to unpack stuff to re-show the house?Sorry you have to deal with all the uncertainty. Maybe this is all for a good reason that you will look back on in 5 years and say "See, we weren't meant to live in that house in Riverton"
I don't think your house will be toughh to sell even a second time. Fingers crossed! Hang in there!
