OMG I just want to buy a freaking house!

[quote=bookczar]Folks, I’m just having a really tough time buying a house in San Diego. Just about everything that we come across is a short sale or it’s bank owned, or the seller will only take cash. [/quote]

That’s because the “recycling” of peak purchases has not yet completed.

What do you expect? Put yourself in the shoes of the sellers. If they can’t get what they “need”, then they may as well let the banks take the f’ing houses.

There’s nothing for the sellers to lose but their good credit.

You need to let the “recycling” process play out first.

But if you want to buy an “affordable” house now, then you have to deal with the delays. Don’t get frustrated and emotional about ownership. Think of it as fun and an educational experience.

Another reason for the “stickiness” is that folks only reluctant part with their pride and houses.

Look at this condo. Clearly the seller is losing money. But even an offer at full asking many not buy you that condo because of the emotions involved.

From the sellers’ point of view, where will they come up with the cash difference? Who pays closing costs, etc…

People don’t think of all that before they list houses for sale. They just wing it as it happens. You have to understand the psychology of the market.
