So some of you may have read my thread where I was going absolutely batty living with Rob's parents as of late. Last Thursday, we signed a contract for six acres of land. Our realtor (also a personal friend of ours), had relayed information that the seller was willing to pay $4000 in closing, and would build an access road if he got the $70,000 asking price. Now that is extremely cheap for this area, considering an acre has been going for an average of $50,000 these days. We figured he was desperate to sell, especially since he no longer lives in the state.
We offered the full $70,000 with the contingency that a road would be built, since his realtor had mentioned that to ours. We also said that it would have to pass a perk test, the survey needed to say we could build a home on it, etc. He had until tonight at 7pm to respond to it. Well at some point today, the seller called our realtor and told her he would not take our offer, he would not put in a road, and the only contingency he would allow was it passing the perk test. He didnt care if we could build a house and didnt care if we could get to the property or not. Rob said that he should just f-off then.
I'm extremely upset

Now we are back to the waiting game
We went through SO many banks and lenders trying to be financed, and on Thursday morning we got the okay from a bank that they would do it for us. There is barely ANYTHING in this area remotely close to affordable. The places that ARE affordable at the moment are the less developed, more "country" places, all WAY too far from our jobs and the college we go to.
Rob is going to try and get his dad to sell us some land, even though we will be right in their backyard. Beggers cant be choosers though. I just want a house and a decent amount of land. *Sigh* Just needed to whine a little bit.
