I am in the last stages of the sale of my house. The buyers are closing on their house on, Friday
and I'm suppose to close next Wednesday. It will be a cash sale. I believe the buyers will use my house as a vacation house, not a permanent residence because it's in a summer community with lots of amenities.
Meanwhile my daughter is in an emergency state. (How she got that way is another thread).
Is there anyway I could stop the sale of my house without it costing me a fortune? I would let my daughter live in that house. Right now she has no where to go, except a shelter, is pregnant, and has a 4 year old autistic son. She is thinking of giving her son to his father so he would be safe and not be in a shelter with her, but his father is an abusive drunk. So probably not the fathers parents would take the child. They are very financially stable and love their grandchild, as do I. This is devistating to her and to me.
I'm a widow, not in a good financial state, and not to well. She can't live with me because I'm in a 55 plus, and she would only be allowed to stay for 30 days. She's in NY, I'm in florida.
You can ask the buyer, they might cancel on pity but I doubt it. If it were me I'd tell you to pack up and be out by closing. You don't stop a real estate transaction near the end. If you do and the seller objects, you will rapidly find yourself in court and losing.
55 plus usually allow for guests.
She probably could stay with you as a guest temporarily.
Then with the money from the sale of the house you could rent somewhere for your daughter to live.
Involve the fathers parents. Seem they want to help too.
if it is a vacation home... ask if you can rent the house from buyer and let her stay there when they aren't vacationing, and they know the house is kept up too between vacations
OP, I am unclear on your status.
You sell your existing house on Friday, and you will buy your new house on Wednesday with the proceeds of that sale?
If you don't close on Friday, will your Wednesday deal fall apart?
I took it as the buyers of the OP's house are selling their house Friday, taking proceeds to buy OP house Wed.
If that's the case, OP is going to not only mess it up for the buyer of her house, but potentially the buyers of the other house also. Quite the conundrum..
It doesn't sound as though backing out of your sale will fix your daughter's problem. She can't live in the house you're selling because she is under 55. Thus, although you would like to provide housing for your daughter and her children, the house you're selling isn't it.
When you are selling your house you are obviously moving someplace. Since you're not buying a new house I assume you're moving to a rental. Can your daughter live with you there, or could you rent a bigger place that your daughter and her children would share with you?
It might be good if you could help your daughter collect child support from the sperm donor.
Don't stop the sale, take the money and rent her a trailer somewhere cheap.
Learn to deal with it now, i'm sure this is only one of many "emergencies" to come.
Don't do that to the buyer who was selling their house to buy yours. You don't know their situation maybe they need to rent it out becuase they have their own emergency.
