Re: Seller Cancel Contract Without Reason - Buyer Rights?

As the other responses indicate, you should be able to sue for specific performance and/or damages. The contract likely requires you to take certain steps before you file suit. So you should contact an attorney quickly to figure out how you would like to proceed.

Please feel free to contact me to set up a consultation. My telephone number is (818) 710-7110.

Thank you and good luck.

Since land is unique, you would indeed have an action for specific performance and also for damages as to any losses you incurred as a result of the breach. You should have an attorney review your contract.

Re: Seller Cancel Contract Without Reason - Buyer Rights?

from the facts given, basically you can sue for two distinct remedies: 1) specific performance of the land sales contract in which the seller MUST sell the property to you at the stated contract price without excuse, or 2) breach of contract damages, in which you can sue for the difference between the current market value of the home and the contract price you were supposed to get the home for thru the seller, whichever is larger.
