Within 10 days thereafter they shall report to the court in writing the personal property set apart, with the value of each item thereof, and the homestead allotted and set off, with a full and accurate description of the same. If the homestead, after being reduced to its lowest practicable area, still exceeds $6,000 in value, thereby rendering it impracticable to allot and set it off, the commissioners shall report that fact.
