Hobbies & Interests: New house or not new house- whats the deal!?

Ok- new at this, a really good friend of mine- told me about this website! She is no longer here in this state she and her family moved and I really have no one to vent too or cry with or anything. My husband and I just put our house on the market to sell, we have found what we hope is our dream home! 3 bedroom- 1 bath- livingroom, diningroom huge yard 3 car garage! Great huh? Well(heres the twist) today my mother inlaw- the best person I know(nope no joke) called and informed us the seller dropped the price to a lesser amount(something that is in our price range)! Yea- but heres the twist WE HAVE ALREADY PUT OUR PURCHASE OFFER IN ON THE HOUSE AT THE PRICE IT WAS WHEN WE WENT AND LOOKED AT IT- 3 weeks ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy huh? Can she do that? Well I hope someone out there might know cuz heres the even bigger kick in the pants- Her Attorney (supposedly) spoke with our Realtor- and our realtor told the attorney that OUR HOUSE WOULD NOT SELL FAST!!!! I spoke with our realtor today- and guess what- the sellers attorney never spoke with our realtor!! Great huh. I work with the seller- and I have not heard anything from her about dropping the price finding another buyer or anything- I went today and put our $500.00 dollar deposit (the good faith deposit) down at our Attorneys this morning! So now my husband and I are in stress mode and like I said I work with the seller and she has not contacted me about any of this - so tomorrow I am going to go in and act as if I no nothing! I have no idea what is going on- we put so much into the house we are in and if we dont sell- its going to be a very tight rest of the year!! Does anyone know what steps we can take to get this house back? Or anything? i guess its a complicated situation from the outside but i hope you get the jist of it!

I don't know what tell you, it's a twisted and complicated situation but here's what I'm thinking... I agree with lava, you should work with another realtor and put in a lower offer than your previous one. Also I think there is much more to the negotiation than price like negotiating the repairs if any, etc.
