I have had my house for sale 4 times. All since the crash in real estate. My husband died last year and I put the house for sale again. I just got a call that I have a written offer. I have been dealing with these folks for over a month. Because my house has been on the market several times, they are trying to low ball an offer. I have explained to my realtor that I have NO life insurance, and I have serious debt from my husband, (Don't ask, second marriage.). I was the sole support of the family. I have lost serious money since I bought the house and married him. I just want to sell for a reasonable price so that I can move close to family. I need good thoughts and prayers, if so inclined. I am desperate. Seriously, this the story of a woman who got in way over her head. UPDATE: As expected, it was a low ball offer, as in $55,000 under list. This guy was originally looking at houses that were $40,000 OVER my listing. I countered with a reasonable offer but have not heard back. He also likes to make verbal offers and then take days to get back to my counter. He leaves me sweating. This back and forth has been going on for a month.

Bankruptcy might be a viable option for you since he caused the debt. I know someone who was married to an alcoholic deadbeat who opened cards in her name, ran them up, etc. when he divorced her she tried and tried to pay, but finally declared bankruptcy.

I'm so sorry for your loss!

I'm happy to send good thoughts your way. Heck, I'll even sprinkle a little fairy dust on them that you'll eventually agree on a fair price with the people making the offer and get your fresh start as a result!
