<prompt> Human: Originally written on Friday We are a week out of attorney review and have already done the home inspection. Our attorney got an email from the sellers attorney this morning inquiring if we would terminate the contract and have them reimburse us for the inspection. We said no and our attorney sent them a letter back saying we would not cancel. Now the seller is requesting to speak to me directly, obviously to try and sway me and drop the contract.Im looking at this as a business transaction. Im not trying to get feelings involved. So I said no I dont really want to speak to them. Who knows what is going to happen next? Is there a way they can back out of this? As long as i meet all of our deadlines am i good to go? I dont want to lose the house just because they changed their mind and then maybe end up relisting or something in a month. What can I do to make sure the deal goes through?UPDATE for Saturday morning - We told them through our realtor that we dont want any contact directly with them. They had their realtor ask our realtor if we would accept 1500 and end the deal. We said no, that kind of money isnt worth us ending the deal. We told them that anything they want to say to us should be sent to our attorney, not our realtor at this point. They pretty much ignored that and asked our realtor again if we would take 2000. We didnt even answer, just said send these things to our attorney. Truthfully its still not worth backing out for that money, I want the house. Oh and the reason they want to cancel? Just because they CHANGED THEIR MIND and like the place. It was listed for almost 2 months and a week in attorney review for them to decide that. Sorry but a week after review is too late. We feel like they are avoiding the attorney, even their own attorney, because he probably let them know they are pretty screwed. At least i hope thats what their attorney is telling them. Im looking at all this as a business deal. If i backed out just because i changed my mind then i would have lost my deposit. Whats the point of a contract if they can just walk away?! Also someone asked if we can afford to stay where we currently are if it ends up in court for 6 months. Yes actually we can. We have a good situation right now living with family. We dont have our own property to sell and can wait out the process of they keep delaying things. I guess we are waiting until Monday to see if they actually send something thru their attorney. But really i dont want to accept anything close to their current offer. Im talking like 10-15k if you want me to just turn around and forget about the house that my SO and i love. I think if they send anything we might just give them a super high buyout number or let them know we have no problem taking them to court since we have the time and current living situation to deal with that. Sorry for typos or grammar, Im doing this from a phone UPDATE - to let everyone know a little backstory, they bought the house last year and the wife decided that she wants to move because its too far from her family. They have almost no furniture there and are rarely home. That would lead me to believe there is little attachment. The reason the want to end the contract is because they changed their mind and like the house. I guess all the sudden wife doesnt care about the distance to her family. I knew that not everyone would agree with me but Id like to just say Im not heartless, Im not a dick. If there was a life altering event that took place than i wouldnt put up a fight. A death, a job loss, a disease are all reasons that i wouldnt be hard on anyone. I have dealt with loss as most everyone has and know it can significantly impact living situations. But all i have to go on right now is then saying just just decided the like the house and changed their mind about selling. That, to me, is not reasonable at this point. UPDATE Sat 1pm - Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestions. Many of you are in agreement that i should pursue the house or be substantially reimbursed. Many others think Im a dick lol. At the moment i feel like reimbursement is our best bet but their current offer isnt worth me giving up a lovely home. Either way Im going to try and clear my head for a while. There is nothing that will be done until Monday anyway. Thanks again for the comments, good and bad, and Ill update Monday. Assistant: When I purchased my co-op last year, the sellers changed their minds wanted to back out just a a week before closing, after Id already been approved by the board had final closing approval from the bank. Both my their attorney advised them that we had a binding contract that I could ultimately take them to court to make them comply. I was willing to back away if they paid for ALL my costs up to that point around 4-5k, but they just wanted me to walk away without them having to pay anything - hahahaha, no. I did eventually end up closing after both sets of attorneys put the pressure on the sellers, but the closing was delayed for months past the date stipulated in the contract I ended up paying thousands extra in rate lock extension fees fees to my landlord for multiple lease extensions. It was not a good experience - extremely stressful - but I do really like living here, so it was worth it in the end.Human: Thanks, we really like the home and we have the current situation that would allow us to fight for months if necessary. I updated the original post with new info.  <response>: In most contracts, expect real estate contracts, if the seller breaches, the buyers remedy is money damages. Because every parcel of real estate is unique, however, the buyer of real estate can ask the court to order specific performance by the seller, that is, to force the seller to sell. As long as you perform all your obligations under the contract including appearing at the closing with the purchase money and no conditions precedent to the contract have not occurred that would give the seller an out check the contract, you should have the house if you want it. This presumes the buyer can deliver good title. They know they are bound by the contract, which is why they are offering you money to cancel it. State law controls, so you should talk to a lawyer other than the one writing this sentence in your state.
