Seeking God Knows What

The bank took our short sale request and approved it basically because the appraisal they did came back $25,000 less than the appraisal that was done last year, which makes me even more suspicious that the other one was jacked up- while values have gone down, they have not gone down that much.

And they gave us NO indication that we are liable for the difference. In fact, the woman at the bank said we should just proceed to close as we would with a “normal” sale except they take the lower amount as pay-off. I would assume that if we owed money, she would have said something.

Yes, this will be in writing. A letter was mailed to our realtor, which she said he should hopefully have today.

I am so relieved, even if I am not looking forward to returning to apartment life but once we get settled, I’m sure I will be fine. You should have seen me prattle on about my relief during my session with #5 today (then we got onto my mother/parents, not so much relief there but a very good discussion about what is MY responsibility in all of that crap and what is not!)

Thank God!
