In his post, Reason talks about "cashing out". One thing that really bothers me is when people talk about "cashing out" as if they are taking money that they actually have out of the house. YOU DO NOT CASH OUT UNTIL YOU SELL!!!!! THE MONEY IS NOT YOURS UNTIL YOU FIND SOMEONE WILLING TO...

Graphix -- Thanks for the info on 26 Mayood. Zillow shows the sales price in December '04 as $1,050,000. Where do you get your information and why would Zillow be so far off?

OC Fliptrack -- Keep posting! We're glad you're back!

OC Fliptrack -- When I saw NIR's comments I was going to ask you to post that link. You beat me to it.. Graphix -- Right on with your statement about the current market value - it was only worth what the buyer was willing to pay. We rented in the neighborhood and 27 Maywood was...

The tax assessors site in Maryland not only provides the assessed value, but the actual sales prices. Check it out for yourself. I posted the address above.

nirvinerealtor, I know a realtor can provide comps. When we were looking to buy in MD, I would ask our realtor to do so. However, I would also check out the neighborhood comps myself on the tax assessor's site. No offense, but I don't really trust realtors to provide me with the best...

One more thing ... the OC Register used to have a section on recent sales on-line, although it was a couple of months behind. They never cited their source for the information, though. Oddly enough, they stopped posting the information when prices began to fall! That made me wonder if the...

Why don't they have this information available on-line here in California? We are from Maryland and all of the information is available on-line. It is easy to check on the sales history of a house you are interested in or the comps in the neighborhood. The information is readily available...

We have the money from the sale of our home in CDs while we're waiting.

Can't wait to see your post on the fraud you've all uncovered! Keep up the great work!
