CIB, I know that it is discouraging to see house prices falling. But don't forget, the house prices in your area may have deteriorated. BUT ... the house prices in TV are also less expensive than in previous years! There are some real bargains out there. My belief is that by the time house prices recover in your area, the prices in TV will have taken a gigantic leap!
There are two ways of looking at the current real estate market.
1. The attitude: "I want top dollar and I'm not giving my house away". This means you will stay where you are, indefinitely.
2. The attitude: "I'm willing to sell at market value". This means you will sell and be free to spread your wings and soar into the next phase of your life.
I think as seniors, while we have good health, we need to try to realize our dreams. Make hay while the sun shines!
