i hope you get your new house. It really sucks that 17years later you can't at least break even on the house. This market is horseshit for selling but prime for buying. We got our house as a short sale last year and we got an interest rate of 3.8%. We couldn't have asked for more. The house needed some cosmetic work but we are 2/3 remodeled and the value has already gone up with our improvements. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
