20031408' 2000 (Exhibit 62), the year the motor home was sold, shows the value of the motor home inventory being reduced to zero. Exhibit 62 also shows a corresponding reduction in the value of notes payable to Five Points Bank from $91,766.38 to $62,587.57 (a reduction of $29,178). This is consistent with Petitioner's testimony that the motor home sold for $29,200 plus a slide -in camper valued at $13,900 (for a total of $43,100 as valued on the Property Statement). It is unclear whether the camper shows up as inventory on the Balance Sheet since an itemization of the inventory has not been offered into evidence, but the inventory does show value consistent with adding the slide -in camper. Because the motor home is valued in the business, it should not be part of the marital estate. Petitioner's undisputed testimony was that his premarital 1978 Dodge Motor Home (K15) was traded in to purchase the Kountry Star Motor Home. Petitioner should be given a credit of $20,000 (K15) which can be traced to the Kountry Star Motor Home. D. Farm, Business None E. Real Estate Residence The family residence located at 8050 North Nebraska Highway 11, Cairo, Hall County, Nebraska shall be awarded to the Petitioner at a value of $170,000. Although the Respondent has valued the property at $180,000 and Petitioner at $160,000, a reasonable compromise would be $170,000. No bids were received at $180,000 and the only bid which was not accepted was at $160,000 with some contingencies. Respondent has testified that if she were awarded the property at her value of $180,000, she would sell it. Such a sale would result in additional expenses to the Respondent which may include real estate commission fees and costs of sale. Additionally, there are outstanding real estate taxes against the property for the years 1999 and 2000, but which were not disclosed as debts on the Property Statement. Petitioner shall pay the following debts against the real estate and hold the Respondent free and harmless from any liability thereon. First Commerce Mortgage Company (H1), Five Points Bank (J1), Bank of Madison (J2), Herman Plumbing, Inc. (J8), and all real estate taxes. Commercial Real Estate Petitioner shall be awarded the commercial real estate located at 2404 West Lincoln Highway, Grand Island, Nebraska. The parties have stipulated and the Court accepts the value of $150,080 on the property. While this property was owned by Petitioner prior to the marriage, certain improvements have been made during the marriage
