[quote=propertysearchaddiction]Creechrr I agree with the fun! I was already sick of the Govt intervention by May. Some of the realtors on this site gave the advice to take the summer off and enjoy it instead of participating in the 50 offer bidding wars. I am so glad I took their advice!
We took 3 trips this summer that were each 10 days. My husband has negative vacation days and it was so worth it. We got to drop the kids off and head to Costa Rica, Brazil, and then to visit family.
UCGal the banks are a joke. Now that we are hunting, I just have to laugh. So this is what I came back to. My list of homes we are interested in has several categories. I’ll give you a rough idea of the numbers.
Active 8
Pending 10
Contingent 15
Bank owned 5
Auction 25
Pre-foreclosure 40
Cyberspace 2
And the last category is my favorite…We love this home but have no idea who owns it. It has been vacant for a LONG time. The tax site has no clue. But I want it. :)[/quote]
That long-time vacant house wouldn’t happen to be in Carlsbad…single story? If so, I can tell you who owns it, but don’t know why it’s still sitting there vacant (many, many years!).
