This company has the worst customer service of any I have dealt with. Suffice it to say that their delivery drivers don't care where they leave your pod and the customer service lackeys like to promise a call back and never follow through.

They haven't gotten it yet - some people have dropped prices after their homes have been on the market for 6 months. However, I still don't want the one that's over 200K with the supposed second bathroom in the laundry room with a 5 foot ceiling, a bedroom with the ceiling about to cave in (at least it looks it) and a tiny, tiny kitchen. No, I'm holding out - if my house doesn't sell for as much either, that's fine. We don't HAVE to move; it's more of a want at this point ...

We started our house hunting adventure last November, just watching the market, and progressed to offers this summer. There were clear signs of a histing market but not enough to really catch the sellers attention. We put in offers that were realistic and got tired of feeling like we we're trying to "cheat" someone out of their money -- we just knew what the house was really worth based on extensive research each time. Finally we rented for a year and decided to start again next year (timing for school was the reason). I sure hope that sellers will be making realistic decisions next year when we start over, that, and I hope that there won't be some sudden boom in the mean time. :) Hi, I recenlty found your site though link walking and am glad to read that we’re not the only ones feeling this we.
