I just went through an extended sales deal on my house in CT and during that period I became much more cynical and don't think I smiled much. I was basically pissed all the time. Nothing in the deal seemed to go right, right up into the closing. Just a freaking nightmare. Now it's over. It's taken me the better part of the last two days to get into a more relaxed mood.

Believe it or not, the buyers financed 96.5% of the sale price, got an FHA loan and the mortgage company wouldn't wire transfer the funds from California until Friday morning, or noon east coast time for a 2:30 closing. That meant that when I walked out of the closing I had my check but all the banks were closed. Now I have to sit on it until tomorrow.

The deal is done, I have my money. What a screwed up system.
