So we had the home inspected today and its bill of health, much like Pam's, turned out to be not so great. In fact, we are fairly certain that this will kill the deal. Due to a little bit of settlement in the home, it will take some more money to get it back on its feet and there is no way in Hell we are paying it.We're going to ask the seller to take care of it and if you've been following our deflating home search and our dealings with this guy, the odds of him saying yes are pretty bleak. So, after thinking about what color to paint each room the past week, we are now trying to prepare ourselves for the disappointment of going back to square one. It's a tough pill to swallow with a contract in place and being this far in a hard-fought game, but I guess that's what these inspection contingencies are for. Looks like we just gave the seller a free inspection.
By the way, who are these happy couples on HGTV that are smiling throughout their problem-free experiences of buying a first home? You would think that in a buyers' market teetering on the brink of a recession, we wouldn't have any problems! The saga continues...
