    I’ve read multiple articles about purchasing a house with a tree that close to the foundation. Apparently, it’s risky.

    Or maybe it was TV shows. Will look for the articles, though.

    Thnaks for all these comp breakers. Anyone in the market knows now that prices are seriously heading toward the cliff dive. It is happening.
    This fence sitting jack will take his timwe and choose and pick the best falling knife.

    sorry, i’m new here… what’s a short sale?

  6. grim says:

    Owner gets approval from the lender to sell the home for less than the outstanding balance of the mortgage. Had the sale not been “short”, the seller would have been required to bring the difference (cash) to the closing table. In the case of a short sale, the loss is “forgiven”.

    wow! I feel much better after seeing these. I can’t believe people paid those prices.I still think that house in Monclair is overpriced @ 535. Why don’t people look at lower tax towns with good schools, services, etc?

    Forgiving not forgotten!!! According to the IRS
