seeking help with "vorhanden" in a sentence
I'm not sure I've got the correct English translation of vorhanden, or of the red highlighted phrase.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Es ist die Aussicht vorhanden, das Sie in den nächsten Tagen nach Zürich übersiedeln können.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
It is the outlook presently that you can resettle in Zürich in the next few days.
Variation, but the same basic meaning:
Right now it looks like you can resettle in Zürich in the next few days.
Thank you for any assistance.

"Vorhanden" means "present" but not as in time but space or existence.
"Es ist die Aussicht vorhanden" is actually a noncommittal way of saying "it looks like". It's like saying "there is a chance but I'm not telling you how big it is"
