I thought I’d post an update here on the blog. If you’re on our facebook page, most of this isn’t new to you.

On October 31st our listing expired with our realtor. It had been mentioned several times that price is what sells right now in this economy, so we decided that if we went on our own, listing the house For sale by Owner, we could lower the price, yet again. We’ve dropped close to 90 grand since first listing in April with the realtor. Selling an acreage in a tough economy is NOT easy. Especially if you have a small home on said acreage.

So we’ve decided to go on our own, and last Friday I listed our ad on as many sites as I could think of. Used.com, kijiji, craigslist. http://www.usednanaimo.com/classified-ad/5-acre-Nanoose-Bay-Property-PRICED-6200000-BELOW-2011-Property-Assessment_16112185

If you feel so led, please, share the link! We are 62 grand below assessed value, and WAY over 111 grand (yes, you read that right) below appraised value! Share on Facebook, twitter, anything will help! Spread the word and help us try and get this place sold and our family under one roof again!

Speaking of which.

My poor husband is still in the 5th wheel trailer, now in snow. He had to winterize the whole thing before all the pipes etc. froze, so now he is living without running water. At a tune of $700.00 per month! I honestly can not believe we are paying out that kind of money for him to live without water, in a trailer. Yet at this time, it’s still our cheapest option. Much cheaper then a motel.

VERY frustrating.

We keep pushing doors for other options and so far each one has closed in our face. There are no rentals available so now we’re hoping maybe someone will have a room to rent, or something?! This is becoming very tough financially, and just as much so, mentally.

Something, has GOT to give.

Hopefully, SOON! Hopefully, it will be this place selling!
