Goverment $8000 TAx Credit

well, mike you don't say where you are, but i'm surprised to hear about "significant combacks" anywhere in the usa. i can't disagree about the eggs/baskets, certainly. let's not give up hope on the tax credit yet, though. the congressional delegation here has been positive in responding to my emails, so i'd think that's a good indication that congress will continue it. let's hope so.

nevertheless, we may not know that too soon, so shopping isn't a bad idea at all.

Ah yes, I suppose the state I'm living in would have a significant impact on amount of time it takes to close on a house... I'm in NY.

As for the "comebacks", from the reports I've seen, it seems as though the foreclosure trend is slowing, but i could be wrong - this certainly wouldn't be the first time for me!

don't count yourself as the only one, mike. look how wrong the entire mortgage/financial/investment/and on and on and on people were.

not too many people saw all this coming...but then again many were wearing blinders.
