I thought it was that's the way the cookie crumbles... or was it that's the way the house crumbles... either way better now then after you buy it and move in..

Better now than after you actually bought it. I'd say it's lucky it happened like this. Not like they can't hold you to an offer you made on a house that's not there in the same condition/state anymore.

I'm sure it's nothing a bit of duct tape can't fix.

Wow! That house sure didn’t want you to be inside it!

No clue how this is an FML. If you had found out AFTER closing I’d say FML.

I would consider lowering your offer, now.

Sounds you dodged a bullet.

So did the offer get through? Did you own the house when it collapsed? Because otherwise I dont ee the FML.

OP, you don't have to lower your offer if you don't want to. Hopefully, the land is still okay ... unless there's now a sinkhole.

The offer collapsed or the house did?
