she suggested no time limits because it could take a long time to get responses. 

I didn't know I could have the seller counter with no time limit.  I'll do that from now on.  Anything I can do about the time limit on the current offers?

Update:  I sent an e-mail to my agent letting her know that I would be moving on.  I told her not to cancel the offers.  The offers are priced fine for right now but I guess I'll have to cancel when I feel the price is too high or when I get another house.  There aren't any addendums or anything to offers?  I hate to cancel any offers and start all over...

I was just reading another thread and it has me wondering.  Is there a chance there will be no bailout?  I thought they already approved one?

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to post in the wrong category:(  I'm a homebuyer and it is relevant to my situation. 

I just had a realtor refuse to submit offers on my behalf because she thought my GFD was too small at $500.  Before this, I had submitted three offers and lost them from being outbid.  None of which countered that they wanted more GFD.  There was some article talking about how realtors' offices had a stockpile of pasta to help them through hard times, but I'm having the hardest time finding an agent that is willing to work!

Does anyone have any experience with this?  I would need to be prequalified with Countrywide if I want to make an offer on a property.  What did they want from you for a prequalification?   I really don't want to risk a hard inquiry on my credit report.  Did anyone have any luck getting an offer accepted without getting preapproved through them?  I sort of don't understand this because I put an offer last month in on a house whose lender was Countrywide and I didn't have to prequalify that time.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Everyone,  I'm getting closer to having an offer accepted (will hear back next week) and it's a property across the street from an equestrian center.  It's a large property with many acres and the area that we are off of is a really pretty meadow.  Anyways, I just found out that the property was sold and wants to be turned in a residential development.  For the next two years they are going to gain the necessary permits and approval to start developing. So. I'm a little stressed out.  I do have the name of the corporation and I guess I can call around, but how bad is it for me that I may not know what will be put up across the street?  Right now, I read it's zoned as agricultural.   I guess its okay if it's residential and homes go up but maybe some of you know what I should do to protect myself from buying a house across the street from who knows what.  What if it's an apartment complex or condos or townhomes etc.  Will this help/hurt my property values etc.What should I do?

It appears the developer has tried twice already to erect a 3 story apartment building

I'm not 100% positive, though.  I guess I'll have to check it out....
