And then off to the closing table. Wish me luck.

When I first checked for FiOS availability here at the Fairfield, it was a no go. I was a little disappointed, but I figured it was because I was living in an apartment building. But last week I checked for FiOS in my new house and it’s it not available there either. What’s up with that?
Frankly, I’m not sure that I’d switch. The FiOS HDTV signal is supposed to be better because it’s less compressed than Cablevision/Optimum, but getting FiOS means dealing with the Verizon pit of despair for billing, service and technical support.
I did some research and found that Verizon came to a deal for the FiOS service with the Town of Babylon in 2008. Is there a separate agreement they need to reach with our little village?
Anyone know what the real deal is? Come on, fess up!

Like I said in the last post, I’m chopping September’s sold home into three posts. For those of you who are interested, here’s part 1
This middle section of three homes doesn’t interest me much, so my commentary will be brief to nonexistent. As always, feel free to leave your impressions in the comment section.

There were some questions about these on some other posts, so I figured I’d share what I know, which isn’t much.
They’re making some nice progress. I see them every day on my way to work. Georgia Westcott is listing them and she’s got a website up with more info.
The site lists the prices as starting as $559K, but there’s no floor plans or model descriptions. I’m not sure if there’s more than one model. The site is a little unclear on the subject.
I assume these are going to be very high-end on the inside, but $559K seems like a lot for an attached townhouse with a scenic view of the Babylon train station.

From my attorney this morning
I was just informed that the bank has pulled the file for re-review of the appraisal. Apparently the area in which the house is located is deemed a “declining market area” and the bank has asked the appraiser to provide 2 recent comparables to which he must conduct a field review, site inspection and photo inspection, all of which is being conducted today. The appraisal was conducted well over 6 weeks ago. The bank has had the file for too long and is now re-reviewing as a direct result of the numerous delays in getting the fully executed contract…and the scheduling of a closing. We are fortunate that they have not asked for an entire new appraisal and are just requesting updated comparables.
The market has caused banks to be overcautious of their files and this is one of the many results.
The should hopefully be cleared up by Monday and we could still be able to close next week if things fall right.
I’ve already extended my lease into February. Assuming we close soon, that will give us time to get the floors refinished, clean and paint before we move in.

Don’t make me beg…because I will.
