◉ San Bernardino seller Craig Watkins has just signed a contract to
sell his home of 13 years to buyer Ivedale Bosch, who has recently
moved to California from Montana. The contract has met all the
necessary requirements, and all inspections and other mandates
have gone along as expected and as agreed to until one week before
closing, when Craig decides to back out. However, he understands
that he could face legal action by Ivy; so he offers to sell her another
house he owns and has rented out for the past few years, in lieu of
the San Bernardino one promised. The second home is worth
$15,000 more than the originally contracted one, and has an extra
bedroom. However, Ivy isn't interested, because she wants to be
close to her elderly mother, who lives in a San Bernardino
retirement complex. Craig refuses to complete the sale on the
original home. Which of the following statements is true of this
situation? Answer: Craig cannot force Ivy to accept his offer of the
other property. However, under California Civil Code, if the seller in
this type of situation (Craig) offers the prospective buyer a home of
equal or greater value, with an equal or greater number of bedrooms
, and square footage, the buyer may not bring legal action against that
seller.
Explanation:
The house that was offered first by Craig Watkins for sale was
canceled and he decided to back out from the deal. But since there
was fear of a legal action by Ivy, he decided to offer another house to
Ivy. But the other house that was offered did not fulfill the
agreement and the requirements of the buyer.
But still he can not take any legal action against the seller because
the new house that has been offered is comparatively a bigger one
and has more value than the previous house. So this avoids the fear
of any legal action. But still the seller can not force the buyer, Ivy to
buy this new house and continue with the deal.
