Context: I know it has n't been on the market all THAT long , but with the housing market the way it is , every prayer will help . Yes , it will be so very very sad to leave our beloved parish , but we need this move . Gas is KILLING us , as is the commute . Yesterday we had an open house , and so our family decided to get it all cleaned up and not be there . Let the realtor earn her keep .
Question: Why does the current state of the housing market lead the speaker to ask for prayers ?
Option 0: Because a lot of scammers are currently buying houses in the area and they might lose everything they have

Option 2: Because houses are selling extremely quickly right now , and they do n't want to leave just yet
Option 3: None of the above choices .
Answer: 1
