Karma?

The realtor called me this afternoon. He told me that the realtor/owner of the house I was so taken by sent him an email saying that the house could be mine for the rock bottom price of $388, sumptin sumptin. Wow! What a deal! NOT! Besides, the property still doesn't work for me. He also told me that the guy is current right now on payments but if he doesn't sell it he will be in foreclosure. Really? A realtor trapped himself in a house he can't afford? Either that is a sales ploy, or the real estate market really, really sucks right now for the, once upon a time, fat cats that encouraged everyone else to bite on sub prime loans to fatten their own commissions.
