Sydney lives in  Los Angeles.  She received an amazing job offer to move to New York City, so she is heading to the Big Apple.  Sydney puts her home on the market to sell.
On April 1st, Beatrice the Buyer enters into a contract with Sydney the Seller to buy Sydney's house.  The escrow period is set to close April 30th and Beatrice is set to receive the keys to her new home on April 30th.  The house is perfect for Beatrice because it is located right next door to the home of Beatrice's elderly mother.  In looking for a new home, proximity to her mother's home was Beatrice's top priority.  Beatrice looks forward to being able to easily check on her mom daily. 
On April 5th, Beatrice spends $10,000 to have Sydney's home professionally inspected.  On April 10th, Beatrice  hires a moving/storage company for $10,000 and the company begins to pack up Beatrice's current house (which is being sold).
Unfortunately, Sydney learns the job offer in New York fell through. 
On April 25th, Sydney backs out of the contract with Beatrice-- Sydney now wants to keep her house.
