We are newlyweds who put down an initial deposit on a new home in CA. We had all the intentions of moving in until my husband had to quit his job. It had a lot to do with the falling economy. We decided that we needed to forfeit the house because the loan company changed their mind and asked us to make a 20% down payment, which we couldn't make. We already signed the contract that promised we would not get back our initial deposit at our own default. But, it's a beautiful and fast selling condo. I know the builder (pretty big name) would have no problem selling it. There's even a waiting list of people for the house. Also, the house isn't finished being built yet and won't be completed until next month. We haven't made any upgrades to it either.
Is there anything that could help us get our deposit back? We've asked and they tell us to look at the contract, which is true but we still want to try.
I also wanted to mention that my husband had to quit because his supervisor wasn't paying him for over a month. He had to quit because he wasn't getting paid. His supervisor keeps asking my husband to wait, but we can't with a house to buy.

I put a contract on a new home on September 26th 2006.which is being build, schedule close date is 12-31-06. The purchase of the new home was contingent on the sell of my existing home. As we all have heard the market has slowed since August, my current home is priced accordingly and we have reduced it by 5 grand. The new house is moving along fast and looks like they will have it complete by the closing date. I haven’t had much contact with the builder on the Forman. At what point do I go and speak to the builder? What can I expect? We want the house very much, but need to sell our current on to used for the down payment./ closing.
