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 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.

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
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?
