Help a chainlinker out (now in the national round!)

Hey everyone;

If you've got a free minute, go to http://chicago.curbed.com/ and vote for the "I thought this was supposed to be a buyers market" in their First-time Buyers Horror Stories contest. I can't promise you riches and rewards if you do, but I certainly would be grateful.

Thanks gang!

done.

It is not really anyone's market now. You'd think it would be a buyer's market, but the banks have made it very difficult for anyone who needs financing to get it.

Hey, thanks guys. Honestly I didn't think our story was anything terrible enough to enter, but it was fun to write it all out. And you can't win if you don't enter.

I agree with you Tony, in that things are awful enough in the market that no one ends up winning. Even a normal process of buying a home seems stressful enough. And h', the sellers didn't want to rent back, they just wanted to stay past closing. They didn't really say why, just because. Oh well.

Not to get ahead of myself, but hopefully we'll get some more chain link support when the poll goes national. Thanks again guys!
