Having digested this over night, I have to say that although I knew our expected 'evaluation' was probably a little optimistic.....I am a little surprised at how much below the mark we were.  Even being, (what we thought) extremely realistic....we came in about 80k less than the realtor's 'realistic'.  That's a mighty big gap.

Thats too bad PC.. Sorry to hear that, at the same time.. did you really WANT a change?

So are you still going to keep your eye out for places you want in case one comes up cheaper than what you expect? Thats what we are doing here, not really actively looking, but keeping an eye peeled and an ear to the ground.

  I don't think so Russ.  I've never appreciated a failed attempt so much.  

  I'm not really interested in moving, for movings sake.  If it was a move up....or at best, sideways....maybe.  Gas savings would have been a little bonus....but mostly I worry about Sawdust travelling during the winter months.  Hurtling down the highway in the dark at 120 klicks....with wildlife acting like the highway is their playground.  Shudddder.  I will just have to rechannel my worries.

 Hey, thats what I did and ended up buying a house from a family facing foreclosure.  I'm now leasing it back to the family and gave my word that they will have first refusal when I resell when things get better

That's good of you 49er.
 
 P.C.- what about keeping your current home and finding a 2nd property closer to work....even if it's something small that you  can stay in during the workweek? An investment property.

Good thought Lil Me....but we are definitely not looking to add financial burdens at this point.

Then you definately need a transporter machine for Mr Sawdust.  Russ will build you one.

Or better yeat...Clone Mr Sawdust.
 Send the clone to work, and the real Mr Sawdust can stay home and rake the forest :)

49er: would love to buy something like a foreclosure.. but theres like none around here. The prices have gone down about 100k around here, but not dropped. Yet, hopefully.

Canada's mortgage market and income tax system are structured different from ours where it was at one time beneficial for high rollers to be fully leveraged out..........I doubt you will see many foreclosures in your area

Oh dear.

I didn't think it would look quite like that Russ.  I had envisioned more of a sawdust blower.  So I looked up 'sawdust blower'.....and this is what I found.
