Thanks for all your comments. We told our realtor that we could close as planned in December if we can figure this out. The sellers said they would move out 59 days later rather than May 31st. But that still gives us 3.5 months (about $16,500) that we’d need to cover before we can move in. So we’re at a stalemate.
The house was shown a lot, it went under contract in less than 6 weeks and when it fell out the first time, we snapped it up within 2 weeks of it being back on the market. There were (supposedly) two other offers coming in when we presented ours. The sellers are not in a hurry to leave but also are ready to sell.
