I am sure your input will be invaluable.Were you hit by any of the storms that came to Texas?

Jean,I would just keep checking back with the lising agent every few days- it has to hit the market eventually..I haven't been able to find any rhyme or reason as to what the banks will accept at any given point, so I just continue to make offers that work for me, and I have been doing pretty well with it.

Jon, I think you hit the nail on the head.

There is no chance that WAMU will entertain a hit like that at this time.

But, not that prices have fallen, someone else needs to take the hit?

The shelf is 23" wide, 33" long, with a 3" support (Sorry, don't know what it's called-the doors hit that panel)up the middle.

I've got a beautiful home in the san francisco east bay area which is of the hardest hit right now in declining property values. anyway, i bought this house with a friend 3 years ago and our intention was to stay for a few years and get out. now we're stuck and although we're not in default, we both want to get out from under this deal as soon as possible. we are currently in the middle of a short sale process, but have two lenders and the second is not happy about the thought that countrywide isn't gonna give them any money.

If they want out without any hit to their credit, that's what they need to do.What's your exit plan here.

The amount of money available is shrinking and prices are rising, when this money that they are going to inject into the system hits it's going to throw our prices through the roof.

Check the pricing with your lender when going below 580 as most times the pricing hits are so big, you are almost working as a charity rather than a business.
