Grandon was moving up from a small starter home she owned in Fayetteville.
Now that gas is pushing $4 per gallon, she would like to sell and move closer to her workplace in Springdale, eliminating the 230-mile weekly commute.
"I kept my house in Fayetteville as a rental and I would move back in a heartbeat if I could only sell my house in Prairie Grove," Grandon said.
The problem for Grandon and dozens of others in similar situations is homes in outlying areas are in generous in supply but sho...
