What is the name of your state?We had a house for sale in Aug 04 (Ohio). Had signed offer & $1000.00 earnest money was placed in escrow. Day before closing, individual insisted we drop the price significantly. We refused.,Individual then contacted a insurance agent who signed a statement that house was insurable (false - same insurance company provided insurance quote) and when that failed, hired a lawyer - lawyer sent letter that house was insurable (again, false) . Our lawyer replied that individual was in breach of contract & provided proof house was insurable. Lawyer replied to effect - would we release individual from contract. Our reply: we would not agree to release of earnest money. No reply from her lawyer & house has since sold 8+ months later. Is there statue of limitations as to the earnest money?
