To sell or not to sell?

That is the question.
Jake and I have been debating back and forth to sell our property or to keep it. I'm for it and some days he's against it. It's not the best time to sell but you just never know. We've gotten calls in the past and we just laughed. Now I'm thinking we should take them more seriously. Here's the history. We bought it thinking that we were going to end up in Arizona. We would build and life would be good. We have 38 acres. The back of the property borders BLM and some Arizona State Trust. It reminds me of Cedar City, Utah. There are two rolling hills that run through it. Our neighbors have started to develop so dragging power out wouldn't be so costly. Now that life has changed courses for us, we're not sure we'll use it to it's fullest capacity. BUT maybe someday we will.

If we keep it, it may gain more value. We may even one day end up in Arizona. 

If we sell it we could purchase land up here and build.

Oh the decisions to make as a grown up.

Hang on til the prices go up!!! Where in Arizona is it??? I know Rick was interested in buying land once upon a time.....he might have some thoughts on whether to sell or not.

I say keep it, if you can. You never know what will happen in a year, or five, or ten, or...you get the picture. Besides, isn't it a great tax write-off?

I think I would keep it like Mandy said. You just never know and land is a hot commodity these days. :) I hate trying to make decisions like that though!

KEEP IT! I wish we had some land in our back pocket.
