An escrow is a deposit of funds, a deed or other instrument by one party for the delivery to another party upon completion of a specific condition or event.

Today’s real estate market might seem to be back at the all time high levels that we encountered five years ago. As a buyer you might think that you should wait and see if the market goes back down before buying. But there might be another approach to keep in mind. This might be a tremendous opportunity to purchase what some in the business call a stale home.
