We are nearing the closing of our new construction after nearly a year of back and fourth with the builder. Initially, we were told the house would be completed in July, then it changed to August, then October and then it was pretty set for beginning of November. Needless to say, we are still not in the house. During this time, the mortgage rates have increased, we've been displaced from our apartment and are residing in a friends spare bedroom with all of our belongings. The contract says that the home will be completed at the beginning of August, or at reasonable notice to the buyers. There has been no reasonable notice to the buyers, we have been strung along for months and it's creating a tremendous amount of stress. The home looks beautiful and I am happy with the construction but if we had known it would take this long to build our 2,000 sq ft home, we never would have gotten ourselves into this. Would it be unreasonable for us to request some sort of reimbursement or discount on the home price to make up for all of the additional time we've had to wait? I understand new construction rarely completes on time but is 5 additional months reasonable?
