This is an AWESOME article! I love that the McMansions are going away!  The new styles and trends are really neat to watch!

I absolutely loathe how this article is dangling money out like a carrot for desperate homeowners.  PLEASE understand that this is happening but it is only happening for a few homeowners.  I just had a bank this week deny a HAFA short sale with moving expenses for a client who met EVERY criteria to be approved!  It seems there is not rhyme or reason to how they give this incentive out!
