Stopping Buy Homes on a Doomy Evening

Whose house is this?I think I know
His ARM is in foreclosure though
He will not see me stopping here
To think how low his price will go.

The realtors must think it queer,
A listing without a buyer near.
No showings at all, no appraisel to make
Greed passes now to darker fear.

I give my lockbox key a shake
To ask if there is some mistake?
No offer yet, price cut so steep
What more can poor owners take?

Comps are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
Lowball offers to fax before I sleep
Lowball offers to fax before I sleep

Glad you bumped it back up....  I missed it the first time.

Robert Frost with a little help from Roberto certainly had great insight on our times.  And he writes it so well, and consicely at that.
