Yes indeed, it is surreal around here today. 70 degrees last week, snow today. Many of the trees have not lost their leaves and are bending with the weight of the snow already. Last winter still looms large in my memory, winter has not even begun and yet it seems very impatient to show it's face.

Unless you are a caveman living under a rock the past few years, you have to have educated yourself somewhat about short sales. In Connecticut we all know why we have to list the BAC at a $1.00 (or we should). I always put a notation that it will be split 50-50. Perhaps your MLS has a different w
