What’s the hurry at this point. The tax credits are gone and so far I haven’t seen evidence that there’s a ton of great deals hitting the market. Rumor has it that BofA is starting to drop a bunch of REOs, but I haven’t seen great deals. If you find a place that is a much better deal and/or fits your needs better maybe it would be worth exploring but short sales are much quicker than they used to be. Other then rising interest rates I couldn’t really see the urgency but you may have a particular situation where you need to move sooner than later.
