He couldn't reneg. Hubbie had his heart surgery today, so been long day. Anyway, Seller is suppose to be back in town in a couple days, so we'll see if he's willing to move closing date up, he wanted end of Aug, claimed was traveling and didn't want to come back early. My gut from day 1 said he was hoping for a bidding war and stretched it out to catch more buyers, not anything having to do with "traveling".
