I know a seller who had to come to the closing with a check for $5000 which he had to give to the buyer. His house had been on the marker (Ohio) for 3 years.

Crazy times.

Crazy times.

Indeed. Last month I was looking into selling a condo I no longer need. While exploring options with my RE agent we worked out that even if I write off the equity (about 10k) I would still probably have to bring 7k to the table for what we thought I could *maybe* sell it for. I guess I will be renting it out for a while. It's a bummer because I really just wanted to be rid of it - but not at that steep a cost.
