The house saga continues!!

O.K.-- so we finally got our old house all cleaned out and up on the market.  We have put all our money on that house so we have a tiny payment, but we cannot access that money unless we get an additional loan with the house as collateral and the house just keeps getting destroyed. And we are all out of money to be able to fix it and be able to sell it for the best price possible.  After a month at the suggestion of our realtor we lowered the price and we were ecstatic to hear that we got an offer that week!!  However, those people walked through and found water in the basement!!  We redid the basement, put in new carpet and walls and paint just 2 1/2 years ago-- and there was water????  We've never had water down there in the 8 yrs. we lived there!!!!  This worried the buyer a little and we had to tear out that nice carpet because it was ruined!!  So we don't have an offer anymore and we had to lower the price again!!!  The good news is that it is not the foundation-- it probably came in through one of the windows because my husband overwatered an area out there because it didn't get enough after we moved out.  We just can't win at real estate.  Oh well, life goes on and my husband has some good future prospects.  We thought we might have gotten out of losing a bunch of money from the real estate bubble, but we didn't.  Hopefully the house will sell and we can just count our losses and move on.  We'll see!!
