BILLMAN V. HENSEL, 391 N.E.2d 671 (1979) CASE BRIEF

BILLMAN V. HENSEL
391 N.E.2d 671 (1979)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the sale of a house. Billman (D), buyer, challenged a judgment in favor of Hensel (P), sellers, in P's action for specific performance of a contract to sell a house to D.
FACTS: Hensels (P) entered into a contract to sell their house to Billman (D) contingent upon the ability of D to get a conventional loan on the property for not less than $35,000 within 30 days. D only went to one lender and only discussed a loan amount of $35,000 but they were short of the cash needed to make up the difference in the loan requested and the purchase price. D got their parents involved and they urged caution. D told P he was short $5000 and P offered to reduce the price by $5000. D did not complete the purchase and P sued to secure $1,000 in earnest money. Judgment went to P and D appealed.
