then she could be out $172,765

Less than $250,000. Then she can turn around and buy it when the fire sale is on! In the end, maybe save $800,000 for that 'little' place.

I didn’t read the exact numbers, because it doesn’t matter. SHe’s out 172,765 if she doesn’t close, but if the market has dropped 13%, which is claimed, then she’s out far over 250k if she buys.... eating 173k is far less than nearly 300k.
