Hi SD. Of course, I’m no expert like many of the rest of you, but as a buyer (aka knife catcher apparently ’round here) I definitely noticed the spring bounce. We were finding many potential houses throughout the winter and then the spring hit and it was like hitting a wall. The only well priced house moved very quickly.

Good news though, we finally heard back from the Short Sale on Jerrilynn. The bank approved the deal without asking for a “final highest offer” that we originally expected since there were 3 total offers on the house. We’re still waiting for the contract in writing and until then I’m not getting overly excited.

It will be interesting to watch the market into the Fall, I know several friends who are holding out for the Fall to look.

Thanks SD- did I tell you we went to look at it? If we could get it at a really good price we’d consider it. It had a ton of upgrades which were great but the master bedroom was really small and without the type of master bath space I like.

Overall however, my husband really loved the home. I guess the master bath isn’t such a big deal for him. We’re considering putting in an offer, but still think the price is high. We’d get a lot more house for less money if we wait for the Jerrilynn house. We’re still undecided, but may very well put an offer in at coolngreen. We loved the neighborhood.

Dear stopthebubble
Your point is well taken however I am still unclear if you think that I am looking for a school with children all from the same SES, I am simply looking for information I can use to make the decision. I took offense to the implication that I did not understand the concept of diversity and that I needed a definition from you (perhaps I’m overly sensitive – it wouldn’t be the first time).

I understand your point and completely agree with it, I just think it doesn’t really relate to my conflict. Perhaps you can help me understand how your point helps me with my conflict which is feeling like I must chose between wanting a strong college prep curriculum AND wanting true diversity.
