You can also advertise that it is coming soon and not available for showings until xx date to build up some demand.

In addition, your future home in Oak Harbor has a very strong rental market with insufficient supply relative to demand.  

The demand side has changed though since investors are waiting on deals.

•Massive unemployment = selling and foreclosure (eventually, not initially)•Increased supply/declining demand = lower prices/buyers' market•Those with capital reserves will buy at significant discounts for cash•Savvy investors without capital will buy on great terms •Retail priced value add/flip properties will have to sell at smaller margins•The paper market and buy and hold investors will be on hold until the general public can afford to make payments•Capital might be sitting on the sideline for a whileWhat does your crystal ball say I'm missing here?

Just be careful taking out that HELOC, when you purchase another property the bank could in theory demand you repay the loan as you took out the proceeds fraudulently (they ask if its to purchase another property or not). 

Basically the message is that they are demanding that the governors of all states "freeze all rent, mortgage, and utility bill collection for 2 months, or face a rent strike". 

You can supplement that with a LOC for short term use and pay it back when bonds/CDs mature.

But we'll have to wait and see what happens and how this stay at home order affects the local economy.The upper price-range of homes may feel the impact the hardest, as buyers and sellers of luxury homes are usually business owners with part of their portfolio tied up in other assets that are feeling a greater impact.The housing demand for the bread-and-butter price (sub $300k) should hopefully only be stalled or delayed, and ideally we'll see some pent up demand be unleashed in the summer and fall if things get back to normal.
