Thanks for the reply.

I was browsing online last night and saw some say always give earnest money to show how serious you are, and others just simply don’t mention short sale when talk about earnest money. Was very confused.

So does this mean we can present an offer just a paper offer and pre-approval letter?

Will earnest money sound reasonable if seller accepts the offer or only if bank accepts it?

So its been one year since I asked the question on this post, thought come back and give you an update.
I managed to save about 12k since last June, have to admit, some portion are from year end bonus. Not all months I can make the amount I plan to save.I have reduced my trip to the mall to 2 times a month (use to be 2 times a week) and haven’t gone anywhere further than driving distance for vacation. Not too bad, but definitely force me to take on new hobby like bodyboarding and tennis as they don’t cost like shopping and clubbing =)
So here we are, in the time where inventory is low but more buyer out there for lower end price places. I am not longer think about Sunset cove as I realize how far it is from my price range. I think I’ll end up getting a 2/2 townhouse around 300k instead. The interest rate is still good and lower end price seem to be stable. Keeping an eye on spectrum right now although not much have come up and they seem to go contigent very quickly. Hopefully I can find one w/o crazy all cash buyer so I can stand a chance.
If anyone know a good broker, please tell me. Thanks ^^

I have given up on sunset cove as their price has not changed, they must be really good dreamer there. But I am so glad I listened to all of your advises on waiting. The spectrum townhouse I was looking at for $370K for 2bd and $430k back in last Summer has dropped a LOT! There was just a 2bd foreclouse for $299k, another $334k. some recent sale has show 2bd for around $300k and 3bd $350-390k. It seem like it pays to wait. The question I have today is how low does this complex need to be to make it reasonable? It still seem higher for the neighborhood it is in, although its new. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
