    I beileve that by defintion is a market crash :) -- When people only sell when they have to sell, and when people who can't get the price they want are forced to pull their houses off of the market. People sell for the price they want to sell at during a market boom, which is not happening...

    Mortgage Refis: Some news?

    I still don't know anyone who has achieved a perm loan modification though ;) You sure this wasn't in the small print of your note already? I have a couple of loans that state that if I get into trouble, I can skip a payment or 2 with no penalty. Cheers, - Hakrjak
