DeeDee, whenever a short sale doesn't have bank approval after 18 months, chances are it will probably end up as a foreclosure. Oh well, it will eventually become a loved home for someone again...eventually! :)
Leilani
Yes, that is a shame.
And, if it was here in NY and waited 18 months, I'm sure all the pipes would have frozen and then burst and then mold.
It really makes you wonder.
Wow, what a different in the photos DeeDee.
It is a shame that this could happen to such a great asset.
DeeDee And then banks wonder why their local reputation stinks - there is no excuse for this
Thanks for sharing this sad story. Unreasonable delays almost always lead to higher costs.
Have an outstanding week as we celebrate the beginning of autumn.
DeeDee.... No words needed with this one. Your photos summed it up quiet right my friend.
DeeDee - Why, why why??? Your question is one I ask all the time. Why is this short sale taking so long when every one else is done with theirs? It's so sad to see a beautiful property like this one destroyed!
DeeDee, I have dealt with Suntrust who held the first on a short sale. I’d like to think they have gotten better over the years … apparently my thinking is flawed. It is a shame that the darn banks and servicers can’t get it together. Maybe the election year create inspiration for the lenders to do a better job!
DeeDee, this is a perfect example of banks being screwed up. It looks like a hobbit house now.
DeeDee what a shame. I like the way you used the photos to show the dramatic change in eigtheen months. What are these banks thinking?
Thank you all for you comments!
Leilani - I agree with you unfortunately. I had buyers waiting 10 months for it and then had another offer submitted by the listing agent without us knowing that bumped my buyers out. Might be Karma!
Debbie - Another whole set of problems.
Tom - It really is a shame. Custom neighborhood. I was glad to see things make it through last summer but there was no way it could survive another one!
Karen - I agree!
Roy - They will have to totally clear the landscape and start over.
Thanks John!
Laura - It makes me crazy as it doesn't make any sense. Look how much the value has gone down on this property.
Kathleen - When short sales first started showing up in this market and there were so many, the excuse was that they were understaffed. We have been seeing them for 5 years at least so the banks should have figured out a system better than this by now!
Pat - They are so screwed up aren't they?!!!
Jennifer - I have no idea! Maybe that prices will go up and they will get more? Not now that everything is dead. The roof is shake... that will be the next thing to give!
The trees dying are a shame, but did that have to do with the short sale? Did they need to be watered, I don't understand the correlation on trees dying and the stubborn lenders. A pity, nonetheless.
Hi Carla,
Yes as hot as it is here in CA, many of our shrubs and trees are drought tollerant but not to this extent. Oaks are actually native here but if they were water for years and years they become dependent on it like these had. Had it not taken so long, new owners could have been in there taking care of it. I blame the short sale lenders!
Hi DeeDee, it looked beautiful then and it need some care now. Is the seller abandoned the property?
Good grief, how awful. It is a huge shame. Hopefully whoever buys it will restore and nurture the garden back to its former glory. Thanks for sharing.
