Please Hold...

I'm supposed to be closing on my house in the morning.  Unfortunately...that just isn't going to happen.

I'm ready!  The sellers are ready!  I've completed enough forms that I think I may have killed a few trees.  My loan is approved, got the home owners insurance all set....but the current lien-holding bank hasn't approved the sale.

I know I'm not alone.  This is the story of thousands and thousands of short sales in process right now...but it's still a bit frustrating and disappointing.

On the bright side - I'm going to start scouting out living room sets (I'd buy it now if I could guarantee that I'd have somewhere to put it in a month!), catch up on some reading, go to the beach, and otherwise enjoy a five day weekend.  :-)
