No news is ..... no news

Hmmph. That's about all I can say about this buyer who put an offer on our home. We made our last counter-offer on Saturday, and he had until yesterday at 5 pm to reject, accept, or counter. Well, 5 pm came and went with no word. About 5:10, our agent called me and said that he had just spoken with the buyer's agents, and they hadn't been able to even reach him to present our counter-offer to him. So the deal expired at 5 pm, and that's that, I guess. They are still going to try to reach him, and see if he wants to accept it, but even if he does, we have no obligation to him.

So I'm thinking that he was in a crunch to close by the end of November because the first-time homebuyer credit expires then. But when he heard the news that the credit will most likely be extended until April, he decided to go off the grid and look for a better deal or something. Whatever. It's irritating, and I think it's rude of him to just not respond at all.
