Are you looking for bank owned house or a short sale?   If you are selling your home and you owe more on the property than you will make at the end of the sale or your property is not worth what it once was- you may have a short sale.  Once the lender agrees to work with you - then can sell your house as a short sale.

Spotted a Bobcat Today Chasing a Deer in Wilton       I sat in my kitchen in Wilton, CT  this afternoon, and something caught my eye outside.    I saw the huge fluffy white of a tail of a deer bounding along in a hurry across my view in Bradley Park behind our house.     Then, I saw something else stir right behind our wall by our backyard.    It looked like a very large gray cat sitting there - but it was so extremely quick when it decided to follow the deer!  It was a bobcat!
