My closing is later today at 3:30pm pacific time zone. Thinking my wife would treat me better and be proud of me, but she still bosses me around, yells at me and calls me horrible names, while in front of the kids. I tell her she doesn't deserve a house or me. She yells back that she couldn't care less and hopes I get into a car accident and die. For 11 years I have had to put up with this. She gets her way because I always give in and I guess I'm all bark and no bite, and thinking something special like buying a home for my family would stop her from easily popping off and putting me down.... I thought wrong..
My question is what would happen if I don't sign my closing documents to close on the house? I put $5,000 earnest money in escrow on a house is 399k (appraised at 407k) supposed to put 10 percent down? Everything is approved and all I have is to sign and bring a cashiers check or have the funds wired.
$600 
$6500 
$30k 
16k

Normally you lose the EMD and any other deposits that were scheduled to be made and you risk the seller coming after you for specific performance - at least that is how our contracts read. Look to your contract it will say what the penalties are for a buyer default.
I am sorry you are having to go through this turmoil.
I have looked at the contract, but don't see a default section.
