Hi Ted and Bonnie. I know it's tough - trying to sell your existing place to get the log house you REALLY want, but hang in there. I've heard rumors that the market in the south is beginning to pick up a little. Your place is darling. Once the fear starts to subside, you shouldn't have any trouble at all.

Nice to hear that he is rethinking moving back. I have a brother who lives in France. It would be nice to have him closer.
As I've written in several of my comment pages, we have decided that we will put the house on the market come fall of 2009 and hope for the best (offer). We will need to dip into our savings to make up the rest of the construction costs but on the other hand we're not getting any younger and I want to get a few years out of the place before I pass it on to family.

I was just sitting here going over the comments you sent on to me, which, by the way are very appreciated and I started thinking about your brother who wants to return to Florida. I can understand that he likes the water, boating and stuff like that but I was thinking that it must be quite a while since he moved out of Florida. I guess he has forgotten about all the reasons he moved in the first place. I'm sitting in an air conditioned house and I'm still hot. Oh well, to each his own.

Hi guys, sorry it has taken me so long to reply but as you well know "stuff" always gets in the way of "things".

I appreciate the information on Tanya Waxler. I will probably contact her to see what she can offer in the way of strategy.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Ted, we have tried about everything, including fractional ownership which is a real interest of late to those oversees. There are number of free sites where you can "post" your home, although we have not seen to much success on our end. The developer and builder we are working with in Nebo have a number of "spec" homes in various stages of completion and I am getting some inquiries on them. As you saw in our business profile, our website outlines how we intend to carry our Florida homebased business to NC as soon as we get out from under this home. www.mountainventureproperties.com

I heard on the news this morning the TampaBay area has had the largest depreciation in home values the any where else in the country ...20% drop fro August 2006. Our homes are a lot more appealing to foreigners and now especially with "devaluation" of the dollar. We had a Pakastani "hooked" but when they found we had buried one of our cats in the "back 40" she (the wife) flipped! They had the cash to, would you believe in a briefcase! I would have dug up the whole darn back yard, but they would hear nothing of it. I have a agent workig for me, don't know how I found here, but she is souper. $299 for MLS listing and has given me lot of tips....Tanya Waxler

I wil look (search ) the web for more foreign sites and let you know what I find.

Best Regards, Ted and Bonnie Steele

I just got home from work, (I own a small carpentry/ handyman business) and started thinking about your efforts to try to sell your house. I've been told that the foreign market is currently the best place to sell ones home. Recently a house in my neighborhood was sold to a family from some where in the Ukraine.
The weak dollar is attracting people into the US. My problem is that I don't know how to reach these people. The real estate people will tell you that they have contacts in these foreign countries and that they are getting many inquires from out of the United States. The problem is that if we hire a real estate company to try to sell for us, they will want to have us lower the price of our house and then take a hefty commission if they do sell it. We would rather sell the house on our own asking a realistic price and keeping the commission in our own pocket. Then we could generate the bucks we need to build the log home we want.

Do you have any thoughts on the subject?

Ted
