grrrrr

No mortgage for me today. They want "more comps"

This means I probably can't close until next week. Probably Tuesday.

STABBY. STAB. STAB. STAB!

That sounds like a catch-22. If they won't sell to you because no one else is buying in that area how will anyone buy?

What's a comp?

Comps are comparables. They want examples of other properties in the neighborhood that are for sale or have just sold. They want proof my $110k mortgage isn't going to be for a house that's only worth $70k next year.

They did that on mine too. I think it took a week for the comps to come back. Wachovia extended my rate lock at no charge since it was their fault I couldn't close on time.
