Ouch

Now I'm mad.  Home foreclosures are now affecting us and I'm mad at both the banks and those people who chose to extend themselves by purchasing a home they really couldn't afford.  Now I understand that there are some financial circumstances that people can't predict or prevent such as illness, divorce, death, and unemployment.   I always thought you were supposed to ask yourself a lot of "what if" questions before taking on a long time commitment such as a mortgage.  A foreclosure and a drastic price reduction of a bank owned home near ours in Big Canoe is making my house look overpriced.  How can we compete with that?

It's a nasty situation when the responsible people are suffering because of the irresponsible ones.

We completely understand your frustration. We were in the same exact boat with a few foreclosures in our neighborhood and it brings all of the comparable sale prices down big time. Your home is BEAUTIFUL and will hopefully sell soon!

Sorry to hear you are going through that. Hopefully you can sell it at a decent price very soon.
