Seller can cancel. It sucks because the buyer can only sue for out of pocket expense. To go after the seller for "Specific Performance" is futile and costly. There's nothing the buyer can do or be compensated for the lost time and agony. Sellers today are taking advantage of realtors and the system in hopes of delaying foreclosure. It's a silly game that's becoming more prevalent everywhere. This is one of the reasons why I steer my clients away from shortsales that are occupied by the owner. Vacant shortsales are good.... more

Hi Devon,
I think your best bet would be to talk with a CPA, or at least find a Tax blog with tax professionals.
Everybody's situation is different and your tax situation could be different.

Talk to your CPA before you sign a contract to sell your property.
