Thank you one and all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. All of the amenities aside, It is comments like yours that have convinced us that living among folks like you, is the right decision for us. We are chomping at the bit to get there and meet you all face to face, finally!!!!

NJ Blue. You have all the sympathy and Johnny Walker Black that I can muster up. Your post though has us worried more than you can imagine. Sure hope it does not turn out to be the "KISS OF DEATH" for us too!!!!!

Everything happened so fast that we forgot that we have to have a place to live until we decide what we want to buy. So, we have decided to rent for awhile just to let the dust settle.

If any of you have, or know of anyone that would have a home for rent for 6/12 months. Please have them contact us with a private email. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hope to see you all at Crispers. Thanks in advance,

Good for you. I know exactly how you feel as I just went through the same experience of selling and am now here for a little over 2 weeks

I think sellers are starting to be more realistic about the pricing of their homes. And that is a good thing .. there are lots of bargains right now in TV.

Sorry to hear your buyers' had "buyers remorse" and backed out. When we were sell our house this past summer our buyer had to sell his house and he had 2 buyers who could not come up with the extra funds required at the last minute by the lender AT THE CLOSING TABLE, and both deals fell through as our sale continued in limbo. Its discouraging but you must keep a positive outlook and reagrdless of the concessions you make and how much they will hurt, once closing occurs you need to look forward and focus on the positives such as moving to TV.

AS for BEARTRACK, great news and just in time to celebrate as part of teh holiday season!!!

Congrats Beartrack! I can't wait to join those of you already lucky enough to have sold your house!!!! NJBlue- that is just awful!!! I can't even imagine the downer that must have been. Keep your chin up!! There is a buyer out there for your house, this just wasn't the right one!

Thanks all for the kind words of encouragement.

I think I know now why our deal may have fallen through. I finally got around to watching the 60 Minutes episode that was on last Sunday night. It was a very dark, doom & gloom look at the housing market and economy in general. I suspect that our buyer watched this and that is what caused him to be lying in bed awake at 2 AM as he said he was. The next day is when he killed the deal.

Darn sensationalist media! I'm sure that there must have been a balancing view to this, but they did not present the other side. Now, I'm the one lying awake at 2 and 3 and 4.
