I do have one or two but I am not going to waste them here in a comment!! :) <BR/>j - we have a much more conservative lending system up here and there is not the temptation of tax deductions on mortgage interest so things are not nearly so bad as in the States - the market has leveled off but no signs of slowing. The situation you describe sounds horrifying for everyone concerned!

The sale on their old house went fine, as the couple buying had no contingencies, the house was priced correctly if not low, etc. But for the house they were buying - sheesh! Even though these people are in great shape financially and were not overbuying, there were some problems with the appraisal part of the process (not enough sold recently for good comp properties) and the underwriter not agreeing with the appraiser, and so on. They did not learn until four days before closing whether it was all really going to go through or not. <BR/><BR/>I'm not planning on real estate deals any time soon, but goodness, all of it is fascinating to watch.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118404372102239756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-63091950455910135442008-05-06T09:52:00.000-07:002008-05-06T09:52:00.000-07:00Wow what a carry on it sounds fascinating though I...Wow what a carry on it sounds fascinating though I'm not sure I could cope with a job like that.<BR/><BR/>I second TBNIL dish the dirt!Breezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725161176184207930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-71672978540451929902008-05-06T09:25:00.000-07:002008-05-06T09:25:00.000-07:00It all seems to work so differently over there...I...It all seems to work so differently over there...I don't know about anyone else, but I kind of find it fascinating.<BR/><BR/>I want to hear about nasty things (ugly, dirty, just plain wrong) that you have seen in people's houses....travelling, but not in lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063643541653145954noreply@blogger.com
