We have a house in Parker Creek and it has been for sale for 2 years this month.  We have been close to a contract several times over the last year but it all comes down to our driveway.  It is steep at the road and everyone wants a flat driveway.  Ours is 4 bedroom 2 baths and we've had several recently that are looking for a 3rd bath because they will be living there full time.  We met with a man yesterday about redoing our driveway in hopes of helping it sell and he guessed at $20,000 or more.  Do we want to put that much money into a driveway and gamble that it will help sell the place or do we want to just lower the price even more??  When we talked to our realtor about the lack of activity on the house this year she said we are competing with Russell Crossroads and restaurants on the other side of the lake.  That seems to be the happening place.  If Smith's Marina would work out and even the plans for Parker Creek I think that would help the houses in our area.  Until we get more eating places, I just don't see much movement in our area.

We don't have to sell our place, we just want to get back to the Dadeville side of the lake.  My husbands parents are pushing 80 and we are looking for a more permanent place to live once he retires in a few years.  We love the Parker Creek side and will be fine if ours doesn't sell.  We were just hoping to "bump up" to the next level of house before retirement.
