Can a seller renege on an executed purchase contract and sell to someone else?
I have a signed purchase contract and earnest money has been placed in escrow. now the seller is trying to renege on the contract and we saw on craigslist that she put the house back on the market and is asking for 10k more than what she is selling it to us for. She said she is backing out of our offer bc we want a home inspection done and she has decided that she does not want one even though it is in our contract to be able to have one. I have a bunch of nasty emails from her telling us that we’re extorting her bc we asked her to uphold her end of the contract or we would go to court for failure to preform. I really dont want to court over this but she has made it clear she is not going to sell it to us and we really want this house since we’ve already sunk a ton of money into the purchasing process.
