We've been looking for a house for quite a while now, and finally found one we liked and made an offer today, just waiting for the bank to get back with a counter.

You can't go wrong buying real estate.

Good luck Tony, it seems like it's been awhile...


You can't go wrong buying real estate. Unless you buy a house and then the market takes a dump on house values immediately after. Ask me how I know...

Good luck! They give you a counter offer yet? My wife and I bought ours a little over two years ago, one of the best decisions we made.

Boring..............

Way to make something that is very exciting for one of our members and trivialize it Dom. It may not float your boat, but for Mamba is an exciting accomplishment.

Congrats, hope the offer goes through for ya.

Short sales are always a waiting game. Given the state of the housing market, and in my talking with some real estate broker friends, you are in a good position. The banks are much more willing to accept, or counter with a very reasonable offer these days. Good luck and I hope you get it!:beer:

True. They were asking almost 700K for the house my wife and I bought. We offered 500K ... they accepted, I almost had a heart attack.

And yes, 500K out here is CHEAP! :argue:

Well because I've had Dom on the ignore list for a year, it doesn't matter. Our realtor, not the selling realtor got back to us and said that the house has a contract on it already, but they didn't tell us till after we made an offer, so our realtor contacted his legal representative, and we'll see where that goes, meantime we're still looking, BTW we offered about 70% of their asking price.

I wish you luck in getting a house you like and can afford!

I wish we could swing a house so my hats off to you if you can do it!
