Default Re: Waiting to make the move...and waiting...and waiting!

We are waiting too. There just doesn't seem to be any serious buyers right now. We are in Fort Myers and the season is in full swing. We have our fingers crossed. We have decided that to sell at the current market value lower price really does not matter to us because we know exactly what model in TV we want (resale) This model is more expensive then the home that we are trying to sell. So, money wise we will come out ahead. We saw several models that we liked when we were in TV last Oct. The prices for similar models have come down about the same % as our current home. That, it seems to me, is an advantage for us. For example: a hypothetical listed price for what we are selling, lets say $200,000 cut price 10%= $180,000. Buy new house for $300,000 price cut 10%= $270,000. As I see it and because we are up-sizing, we will sell for $20K less but, we will buy for $30K less. Does this make any sense to anybody else ?
