Thanks all for your responses..

Guess I just had a mega bad day with Chase. Lesson learned, switching to our Citi Card and applying for an
Am Ex. I’ll lock the Chase away in the fire safe for emergencies but after the last 12 hours and 4 phone calls I can’t trust their card to work! Bozos!

Svelte, you cracked me up with your story…wish I’d thought to “have words” with Chase right then and there so Miss Snipity the Checker Chick could have wiped that smug look off her face!

jpinpb, I hear ya, which is why I understood why they denied the charge from Ancestry.com and was fine with that, but the subsequent deninals with in 12 hours from Amazon and Vons both of which we buy from frequently was out of line, especially after I’d contacted them and they’d said the freeze was lifted.

Guess they just have bad customer service? It’s just odd because I’ve been a card holder for 17 years now and this is the first this has happend and the first I’ve ever heard of “triggers” and “clearance limits”.

I thought I recognized that address..Just went back through my e-mails from April 2007, we looked at a rental at 14510 Red Hawk (the one on the corner) whereas I think the one you are looking at is at the end of the street.

Reasons why we did not rent the house:

Neighborhood is a hodge-podge of homes. There are some horse farms, some custom homes and some 1960’s homes all in the same square mile. Makes for some interesting smells and lawn art if you know what I mean. Since it’s all in kind of a valley there’s not a lot of breeze to clear out the eau de poo.

There was a huge honkin’ RV parked at the end of Red Hawk when we were there, we have a rule about living with people who think the street is their personal parking lot.

There was also a lot of construction at the time. Just up the road where Twin Peaks ends right under “Tooth Rock” there were 2 or 3 custom homes going in, lots of big trucks in and out and lots of dust being kicked up.

All in all, the homes on Red Hawk were nice enough but driving out to the end of Twin Peaks like that adds a lot to the commute and it’s a really eclectic mix of residents to say the least. These homes on Red Hawk and at the end of Twin Peaks really stood out because of the older, smaller homes on the same streets. Just a very odd vibe in that neighborhood.

Well, I know 760,500 isn’t as low as you’d like to see it, but..the place two houses up the street – 11716 sold in 5/12/06 for 925K. Same sq. ft., same 4/3 plan. Isn’t that an 18% decrease in under 2 years?

If the sellers of 11704 sold at 760.5 as a short sale doesn’t that mean that they owed more than that to the bank?
Let’s say they owed 775K. They’d have to come to closing with 14,500 right? What about commissions and closing costs? Would they also have to show up with 45K (about 6%)in commissions and a few extra grand for escrow, title ins., etc.? OUCH!

Like you’ve all said over and over, it will be a slow, sticky ride down, but it is going down.

Hang in there SD R, your castle is coming :>)
