Looking for some advice here. My house is in contract to be sold, set to close July 15. The July 15 date was agreed upon over a month ago when we negotiated terms of the offer.
The buyer let us know today that they want to close July 5. We're in a buyers market, and our house is (thankfully) selling for asking price. Our agent told us that we really should make this work and not make a fuss about it and upset the buyer.
Our problem is we now have much less time than anticipated to pack, sort out movers, etc. Their agent is pretty insistent that they need the closing date to be July 5, and our agent is really pressuring us to just agree to this.
My husband wants to push back and say we are sticking with the closing date per the contract. He thinks there is no way they'd actually abandon the contract with us over this point. I'm leaning towards just accommodating them no matter how much this makes things painful for us as I want things to just go smoothly. Any thoughts?
