Thank you Patty. I hope so too. All my grandbabies are gown up now except one. The little one here on my site is my great grandson. If I don't sell soon he will be grown up too.

Oh, Millie, I hope you get to those grandbabies soon! Someone is sure to buy your house, it is so lovely! I think you made a good choice about the tile. Good luck!

thank you patty. don't know about being sweet, but I do wish you all the luck in the world. I am just in a frenzy here getting in the new landscaping, the painting and now I have decided to exchange my hot tub for having tile layed in the kitchen, entry and bathrooms. don't use the hot tub anyway and it doesn't add any value to the house, so why not. That way the patio area will be nice and big as the spa takes up half of it now. Hopefully someone will buy it some day. LOL

Gosh, Deanna, so sorry to ...

Gosh, Deanna, so sorry to hear that you've had such rotten luck. At this point, NOTHING would surprise me. As I've said, I haven't popped any corks, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't so very hopeful that this might be over.

Hope better luck is on your way! :)

Hi Patty - Our 2nd buyer ...

Hi Patty - Our 2nd buyer was pre-approved and approved as well. It wasn't until his financing got to underwriting that it was discovered he wasn't divorced yet. He even misrepresented himself to the title company by listing himself as an "unmarried man". Unfortunately, he needed a disclaimed from soon to be ex-wife so he could qualify for the loan to buy our house. She wanted him to pay her student loans off but if he took on that debt, he couldn't afford our house.

In the long run, it was probably good that it fell through (he pulled out, not us) as we really didn't want to get in the middle of divorce proceedings. But it's still disappointing when you think you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Neither of our buyers had inspection contingencies either, but during that 10 day discovery period (at least it's 10 days in Arizona), the buyer can back out for any old reason and not be penalized. It's really too bad that there doesn't seem to be much protecting the sellers anymore.

Thanks, pub and millie.

Millie: You are so sweet! We do have several homes we're considering; new construction and, actually, renting are also options we're batting around at the moment. It's a tough call in a tough market like Vegas. Good luck to you! :)

congrats Patty
