Beautiful Homes

As for an update on the sale of our home. We have finally been assigned a negotiator and have actually talked to her. Amazing! If you are like me you are thinking "Sweet! we are finally on our way to being done with this whole stressful process." Only, no, we aren't. After sending in the completed short sale packet in early June and after our realtor has made phone calls every other day with the assurance from every Chase representative she talked to that they had everything they needed our representative told us that she doesn't have anything but the hardship letter and the sales contract. So I ask you where are the tax returns, bank statements, pay stubs, etc that we have sent in multiple times? Should we be worried about identity theft? Should we be worried about incompetence?

Our realtor did tell the negotiator that we were not impressed with Chase and their processes at all and that everything that they have put us through is absolutely ridiculous. And that she, the negotiator, could make it up to us by processing our file as quickly as possible. To that the negotiator said that as soon as we faxed in the information AGAIN that she would do everything she could to take care of this for us. Let's hope she was sincere.

Tomorrow I have my next doctor's appointment with Dr. Pollard. We are scheduled for an ultrasound, so as long as the baby cooperates we will be able to find out if the baby is a boy or girl. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Lately I have been trying to keep my eyes open for future homes for our family. I have been told that as long as we are not delinquent on our current loan that we can get another home loan with anywhere from a zero to six month wait after a short sale. Well, right now there is just nothing out there and if there is anything in our price range it is either craptastic or is snatched up quickly. Our realtor told us that we should not give up on the new home developments in the area. That many of them are having builder closeouts and people are able to get really good deals on brand new homes.

Well, there is a new home development in Gilroy that I heard might have something in our price range. I thought it was a little far fetched but decided to go take a look any way. Oh my goodness. The homes were beautiful. They were so spacious. I have to admit to being just a little envious. They are way out of our price range but at the same time are less than what we paid for our current home and twice as big. Yikes! If you like looking at model homes you should go out the Mesa Ridge off of Santa Theresa. Beautiful.
