Actually, to your point SD R. When my wife originally bought her own place, she was in the middle of escrow, when her company stock tanked. She called up her agent and said she was gonna backed out, not because she had the downpayment in stock. She was more concerned that there was a problem with her company.

But what was even more ridiculous on her part was how she ended up going through escrow anyway. Not because she really changed her mind about the safety of her job…But she had already ordered sofas to be delivered there 2 weeks after close of escrow, and couldn’t return them.

Yeah, I know, go figure. Anyway, it worked out in the end with the appreciation in the property.
