Eight months from offer to closing?! What the hell took so long?
Didn't pass septic inspection. We were at an impasse until they got it fixed.
I have a friend in Wilson, Wyoming that took over a year because the property boundaries didn't match what was recorded with the county. And on a $6M deal, those two things better damn well match.
ETA: If you ever purchase real estate in a mountain town timing is everything. Over 90% of real estate business is done during the summertime. So if the process drags into the late fall you have the seller by the balls. If you walk away in November its almost a guarantee that the seller will have to carry the property into the summer just to start the process over again. That might mean carrying a property, for which they need liquidity, for another 7 months to a year.
IT's amazing the concessions you can leverage.
