Thanks for the help guys! I did end up eventually getting the option just by doing a ton of quests in Riften. Was definitely worth it in the end; it's a great house.

Can someone explain to me exactly what is necessary to buy the house in Riften? I've killed 4-5 bandit leaders, three dragons, and gone and picked up the items for the court wizard. I no longer am able to pick up quests from the steward nor anyone else in the court. Is my game bugged or is there something I'm missing here?
