Waiting is the hardest part

After the last post, you are probably wondering what in the heck I’m complaining about. Or you’re saying just sell your house and move into a condo.

Nice idea, but easier said than done.

With the market as it is, we couldn’t sell our home now and make anything decent on it, or anything at all really. So we are waiting … unfortunately not so patiently.

Isn’t that always the way – when the market rocks and you can make a pretty penny on your property, you choose to stay. Then the market turns and all you can think about is moving.

Also, while the downturn in the market has made real estate more affordable here, it is certainly not reasonable enough for us. Naples is an expensive community with a lot of rich folks owning second and even third homes here. That doesn’t help the little guy ... namely us.

We’ll move someday. It’s not like it isn’t going to happen. Now is just not the right time.

Our mission is to find a fantastic place in the world where the cost of living is much, much cheaper. Panama might just be that place.
