We made an offer on a house. The offer was accepted. Three weeks prior to close, the sellers learned they owed more than money than they asked for the house. They did the paperwork requesting a short sale from the bank, however, our contract was never modified, nor did the sellers request a modification. We offered to let the sellers out of the contract so we could find another home, but they do not want out.

We are living in temp housing, which ends next week, our household goods are to be delivered from MO three days after close and we have no idea if the sellers will be at closing.

If the sellers are unable to close on the designated date, what rights do we have? We will be charged a delivery fee if we do not have a house to deliver our household goods, temp quarters is almost twice what our house payment would be and we have already paid for inspections, appraisals and a survey.

I understand that many home owners are having a difficult time.
