She now has to decide to keep it on the market or take it off. Higher interest rates and cost of moving is difficult without a sizeable profit on her home.

There just aren't many buyers out there. Who can blame them? Why give up a home with a ridiculously low interest rate and buy one with a huge interest rate? Doesn't make sense especially if you have a family.
2500 sq ft under air? And she can't get $500K for it? What Village? Something seems off...
