One other question Pnelish… Why do you think he was pressing you so hard to buy?
Was it one particular property your agent was pressing you to make an offer on? If so it could have been for some less then honorable reasons. Perhaps this was a listing he had? Perhaps this particular listing was offering a supersize coop brokers commission. If you want to post what street it is on I can let you know who is listing it and what commission they are paying.
Also as you know, if you could hold off for awhile I think you will get better pricing in the next few years. Specially if Poway, Sabre Springs, RP or RB is your pleasure. What part of Poway do you like?
