What is one thing that I can do to make my house more salable?

'); return false">

The biggest thing that you can do is to make your house appealing to the general marketplace instead of just yourself. As its been said "A Person's Home is Their Caste". That may be true but you are trying to entice another king and queen to buy your castle, not do whatever you might like within your own realm. Many find this easy to say but hard to do. That's probably because we like what we like and expect that others do as well. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is why you need the help of a professional stager (unless you will be making a full proce offer on your house.....SMILE.)

Are there really alot of foreclosures out there?

Yes, sadly. Do you want to find some? You will need to have some economic wherewithall and some persistence. If you have these already, call.

If I'm a 725 FICO, will the subprime fiasco hurt me?

If you have an excellent credit score you will probably not be too affected by the difficulties in the subprime market. But you should remeber that all banks have been hurt by this and will therefore tend to be more cautions. Thus you should allow a little extra time for your approval and not take it too personally if you are turned down Another bank will probably not have any trouble with your application in the least.
