From the AP via the WaPo – an excerpt:
The huge price increases produced an unexpected retirement gift for Larry and Diane Plaster, who were resigned in January to selling their San Diego home for less than they owed the bank, known as a short sale. They owed $352,000 but accepted an offer for $290,000.
Their bank rejected the deal four months later, leading the couple to put the home up for sale again. On the second attempt, they took an all-cash offer of $380,000, yielding a windfall of $6,500 after broker fees and closing costs. The Plasters, who live on Social Security income, fulfilled a dream of moving to a geodesic dome they built in Janesville, 130 miles north of Lake Tahoe.
The former Catholic social service workers were so angry when Chase rejected the short sale that they closed their account after more than 40 years.
“Now I guess I should send them a thank-you note,” said Diane, 66.

That is like thanking your corner drug dealer for picking up the tab on your stint in re-hab.
“Fulfilled a dream of moving to a geodesic dome”
Dare to dream. Dare to dream.
