I have been showing a buyer property over the last 3 weekends. I wrote 2 offers. We were in escrow for 5 days on the first offer and he freaked out when it was disclosed that there was a development going in behind the home. He was worried that the construction would harm the foundation on this home. I think he made a mistake by cancelling. I never said he was making a mistake as you never know what can happen. Of course it was his decision. We did not get a ratified contract on the second offer as the listing agent purchased the home in a trustee foreclosure in September and didn't record the deed until December 10th. FHA will not give a loan on this circumstance for 90 days. Why the agent didn't record it at the time of purchase is beyond me. In my area most of the loans these days are FHA. I am hoping that we will find the right home next weekend whcih will start a positive beginning in the New Year. I am also planning to do more online marketing and continue with my sphere of influence and go back to the basics. I am thinking positive that the year 2009 will be a great year! Are you planning?
