Still waiting for a buyer for our property

We continue to wait for someone to make an offer on our property. Our broker visited a number of the new construction brokers in the area over the weekend. Most of the new construction in the area is listing from $50K-100K more than our asking price, and many potential purchasers cannot afford that. So our broker went around to suggest to them that when interested parties come around to look and cannot afford the new construction, that they take a look at our property. Since the brokers don't get paid until the property sells, if they can bring a resale to close more quickly than a higher priced new construction, it benefits them as well.

Elise received her RN refresher course completion certificate last week. She needs to find out in what form to send this certificate to the AK Board of Nursing, and then following that, a few more weeks of waiting.

Once our property sells, once Elise begins working, then we can figure out how much we can/need to borrow, and then look for a permanent abode here.

Snow is falling again this morning, turning the lawn outside into a pale shade of green.
