Comment on Biting The Bullet-Short Sales by Randi

I have watched the insanity of the housing meltdown over the last couple years. I cannot believe that when the times are great and everyone has lots of equity in their homes, they use that equity to add on to their homes and buy jacuzzis, etc. But when times get rough and equity drops everyone rises up and all of a sudden people cant afford the mortgages they bought and but can still pay for and because of that drop everyone is now upside down and the banks are actually allowing people to get out of their so called ‘bad loans’. Last time I looked at my 401K I did not get that type of deal. And my 401K is just as important to me as it is my future. People with loans should be made to understand that once they sign on the dotted line it is final. Regardless of good or bad they must pay the loan or sell the house. The housing market fluctuates just like the stock market. You take the good with the bad. So now thanks to the banks giving people with these type loans a break we all suffer with banks charging for anything and everything to recoop those losses. I’m so glad I am helping to get these people out of their bad loans with my account charges and I’m sure everyone else is also. And thanks to all the people like me who have decent credit and cannot even get into a house because of tight credit restrictions. This in a nutshell is the dream of American homeownership. The dream turned into a nightmare beyond compare.

You have me totally stumped this week… it looks so familiar but I can’t figure it out. But I wanted to say thank you for the Safeway card from a couple of weeks ago! Love these contests!

Actually… okay, looking at the photo again, it kind of looks like the north end of Gull park… but I think you’d have the swingset in there if it was. But maybe not.

I think this is great, but I would be concerned that it’s just a frenzy now and will settle down when the FB IPO actually does happen and people actually have money in their pockets. Remember, even after the IPO many of the folks who will be buying won’t be able to sell their stock for at least another 6 months.

That all being said, this is great news!
