There are many more and many more personal goals such as getting married and starting a family, adopting my first GSP dog, traveling to Wyoming and Montana and spending more time in nature, just to share a few.

I recommend homing in on what MOST vacationers are looking for in a specific market and try to find properties that have natural features/amenities that are scarce.  

The market will naturally balance itself. 

I like a navy, darker blue, charcoal or Teal but it really depends a lot on lighting, natural light and how big the kitchen is.   

The property is off grid, but already set up with solar and a compost toilet and things of that nature.

Prices a few years ago were based on expectations of (in addition to interest rates staying low): - Then current operating cost assumptions (like insurance cost expectations being flat)- A seeming disregard for record levels of new inventory / supply hitting the market- Extremely high inbound migration expectations which are likely to not be met, due to both natural disasters and the boomerang effect when people from California or the Northeast move to the American South and hate every minute of the humidity, the large and relentless swarm of insects, and the occasional hurricane. 

Also, townhomes are a great bridge property, it's a common trend that those in townhomes are aspiring for home ownership meaning credit sensitive and with that right mindset. 

He will be taking a leave of absence for the  year.Given the unforeseen nature of his health condition we would appreciate your assistance and consideration in addressing this situation.

Natural appreciation usually takes holding the property for at least a few years (just depending on what the RE market does going forward).  

Naturally your property must sell before you can take title to the new one, but nothing prevents you from getting it under contract and make the process as smooth as possible.
