“So $350,000 is the price of the land it sits on.”
I would think that actually is the price of the land with the cost of removing the trash pile deducted. Once the shack is gone the price should be considerably HIGHER. The cost of removing it at one time would have been minimal, with current regulations who knows. Fifty thousand maybe?
I live on eight acres fronting on a small river on the North side and two paved streets on the South side with an 1850 square foot dwelling, Oaks, Hickories, Dogwoods, Poplars, Pines, Sparkleberry, a Blueberry orchard, pear trees, grape vines and arbors, the kind of place a lot of people dream of and if I asked $350,000. for it here I would be laughed at. If such a place existed in Silicon Valley it would be worth millions upon millions.
Good point.
Your place sounds nice, but more work to keep up than I want once (if ...) all my kids finally move out. I'd be happy to go straight from here to an "independent living" condo like my mother's.
There's some REALLY bad stuff there, what with the commies, homos and homeless.
But it's still the most beautiful and exotic city is the USA, bar none.
Only Seattle comes close.
And, I've been everywhere.
Hey! You can get a great 4BR, 2500 sqft home on 1/2 acre...pool, covered patio with misters...pool, built in BBQ...the whole none yards. Close to downtown. Great neighborhood.
For $299,000.
In Phoenix.
But who the hell wants to live in Phoenix?
