Powayseller, I agree completely. A few days ago I told her that I would advise her to sell her house if thought she would actually do it. She got angry and demanded to know what they would do then. I suggested renting one of the houses for rent on her street. She didn’t like that idea much. It is very frustrating because almost every penny of their retirement is the shrinking equity in their house. The builder has not dropped the base price yet but is offering huge freebies.
