Bummer

For those of you who have been following, the house that we were planning on purchasing is now a non-option. Heath and John had a meeting with the house inspector today who showed them over $100,000 worth of structural damage that the developer had tried to cover with paint and some nice finishes.

We've pulled out of the contract and hope to start looking at a new spate of homes this weekend.

It's sad to say goodbye to 3510 W. Walnut, but we're relieved that we didn't end up with a money pit sold to us by a shady developer.

Wish us luck!

So sorry friends. What a bummer. But, you're right, better find out now than later.

WOW good luck! I can't wait to hear all the house hunting news. We have lots to catch up on lately it seems! Hopefully tonight sometime.

it's amazing what a little paint can cover! sad to hear it, but glad you won't be moving into a structurally unsound home. here's to finding something else very soon!

Sorry that it didn't turn out as well as you hoped, but, glad there is no lasting harm done.
