Well we knew it was up for sale, BUT, she had it listed for $135,000 to start or encourage a bidding war to get anywhere near what she owes, which is closer to $300,000. It's a whole long, rather odd story... let's see if I can put it in the tiny version.... she's young, from Russia, came here, married some guy who became a prison guard (nice guy though) and when the economy turned, she, who was working mortgage deals, and being a demonstrator at grocery stores on the weekend, the FOUR houses that she bought with "little or no money down" .... well I don't know what happened exactly but I think she lost two and was getting ready to lose this one and the one that she's living in. Whew... what a run on sentence. And so... because her husband's hours got cut, she was stressed "and couldn't be nice to him" ... so they're getting a divorce, or at least that was the thing a couple of weeks ago. Last week when she called to tell me that our house sold, she said they might try counseling.
