We're going to go to Taylor up next in O'Clair, Wisconsin. Taylor, welcome to the show.

Thank you. Oh, my gosh. Okay. So my husband and I put in an offer on a house, which was accepted right away.

He had seven days to turn in the earnest money.

And on day five, we decided to not do it.

So we told our realtor right away and we never paid the earnest money.

Mm-hmm.

Long story short, we got married last August.

We're now pregnant with a baby in July, and we found

out last month that my husband who's in the military is deploying this fall for about a year.

So the reason that we jumped on this house is because we got scared, tried to make a decision.

It would be easier for me to live by myself for a year. And then after signing it, we were like,

this is not a good idea.

This is not the house we want.

So we canceled.

We never paid the earnest money.

And now the seller's mad.

And they want not only the $3,000 of the earnest money, but they're asking for $5,000.

And they're threatening to the legal counsel, I guess, if we don't pay.

And we just don't know what to do.

So you signed the offer saying that you would, and the offer said that you would pay

their earnest money within seven days? Yeah. Yeah. What does the contract say about getting out of this?
