ISO,
Thanks for the congrats. I wouldn't be in the market right now as I'm looking too forward to "camping" on a sailboat that will take me anywhere, kind of living out a life long dream thing. I've viewed your listing before though, you seem to be right priced with an outstanding view (that's really what sold my home) and hopefully someone will pick it up with the incentives out there right now. It's a tough market though, be prepared to negotiate. I consider myself very fortunate as alot of the neighborhood homes on the market (not including the foreclosures) have been sitting there for awhile. Lots of inventory that needs to go away before the demand returns for better sale prices for homeowners. Our local market picked up a little beginning in May of this year (year to year and month to month), but the recent cascade of foreclosures put a hurt on everyone else and readjusted appraisal values for everyone within a mile.

DBA,
I hear you, it's why I feel the housing market isn't gonna recover as fast as MSNBC says it will. The WAMU deal was just the indicator that the housing bubble existed and that the market would have to correct. A few months earlier and I could have sold at the peak. But oh well, in two summers I'll be sailing transpac for a cheap Hawaii excursion during a summer break in my second youth, things could be a lot worse.
