svelte, to clear things up, my husband and I have been under contract on the same short sale in Discovery Hills since the first week of June. During the wait for the short sale approval I got cold feet and convinced myself that it may be better if we just continue to rent. If we moved to another rental we would want to live in Encinitas or Cardiff where my husband and I grew up. We can not afford to buy what we want there, so we would have to resign ourselves to renting long term.
The same house that we are in escrow on for $330,000 in Discovery Hills would be almost double that 10 miles away in Encinitas.
Since then, my cold feet have warmed up and the short sale and our loan were finally approved and we are due to close in a couple of weeks.
Sorry to confuse you or anyone else with my inconsistent posts!
