SDR: Last year, I bailed out on a short sale in Helix because something came up on my favorite street in Carlsbad (Obelisco Pl). The house in Carlsbad was perfect and priced at 799k which seemed like a great deal. Problem was it was too good a deal and the house sold for high 8’s and we could not go above 825k. Went back to the short sale in Helix and another buyer had already jumped in to take our place. We waited 6 months to get that short sale approved in Helix at our price. The house was perfect for us but we still had reservations about living in Helix so we were tempted by the Carlsbad REO. I was cursing myself all this year until we found our new house in MH.
I think you too will find the right deal to make you forget about Pudregal and I think it will happen sooner than you think!
