  • Since both sites are tagged, Quantcast should have the best comparison data. Note that Ardell's "bottom call" has really upped traffic at RCG
  • One thing is for certain - this is not an inflationary indicator. there are no buyers. 5% YoY reduction in PCE, where that makes up 70% of a $14 trillion economy = $500billion in spending that has disappeared That's slightly less than…
  • ah - sorry; I scanned right over that "Solicited an attorney to provide official notice of contract cancellation and demand earnest money back" part of your post assuming you got competent advice - I'd guess you are left with what Jon suggests - …
  • Consult with an attorney. I don't know the specifics of your P&S agreement, but I think I had a similar situation with a place I had under contract 2+ years ago. I had put down earnest money and also paid some money for upgrades on a place u…
