I'm Sitting Here In Shock!

313 views

It's roughly 12:30 in the am and I have to be about 25 miles from here in 8 hours. Long time but I desparately need sleep. I don't know if I will be able to sleep. My "dream" of again having a home is getting closer. Tomorrow I meet 2 women who will be getting subcontractors to clear the land, put in well, septic system, culverts etc. So, in printing some things for them, I'd thought I'd check the recent sales. What I saw was that a lot across the street and owned by the same man I bought my property from in February, and which I could have purchased for the same price, was sold. The shocking fact was that it sold for 45,000.00 more! Now, I wonder if there is something better about that lot and I picked the wrong one. Since both are heavily treed and there is no way I could walk on either property, I have no idea what is really there. Perhaps it is lower and will need more fill. Of course it could have cypress trees which you are not permitted to cut down (although I don't think I could see any) Well, in a few days I will know everything and then go to the next step.

 

What I really need is to have my head examined. Come to think of it, it was and was found to have some damage biggrin2.gif

hey phyllis:

 

In real estate market things get ppraised differently, maybe you got better deal then those people who paid 45k more, so be happy u got great deal instead of worrying. In real estate market no price is right, you only need 1 desparate buyer, I have seen that hapening in our case itself for 2 years we were looking for house and finally paid 50k above the market price, we were worried for little while, but now when we look back and connect dots, I think we did great decision, we love our house, and prices have appreciated handsomely over past 3 yrs

Hi Phyllis, Prices have gone crazy in the past two years, I think maybe they are starting to peak. We just got a note from the county and the county appraisial has gone up 10,000 in one year.

 

The property across the street is probably not any different than yours. When we bought it was hard to walk our property becuase it was a jungle and thck with blackberry bushes and stumps.

 

I can't believe the prices of the houses in and around this area.

If you like the property than you made the right decision ...
