We hope that never happens but it's something to think about. <br /><br />The cabin I like has been on the market for 2 years and originally listed for $200k. I don't know what people are thinking sometimes (hell, ever).Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551818740965932334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648644785345075469.post-42818107119015926862014-04-21T09:48:55.889-07:002014-04-21T09:48:55.889-07:00Indeed, at least for nothing else than a good chuc...Indeed, at least for nothing else than a good chuckle.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551818740965932334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648644785345075469.post-26686246893844944282014-04-21T09:41:43.948-07:002014-04-21T09:41:43.948-07:00It's been tough here finding the "right&q...It's been tough here finding the "right" place. Either the land is wrong and the house is right or just the opposite. And then there's this realtor in the area that we are looking at. She has priced these homes that she is selling at way more than they are worth, and many of these home owners having been told they are worth X amount, then don't won't to come down to a reasonable price. Then there are many, many places that have great streams (coming off the mountains) but they flow through cattle pastures, so the water has the natural pathogens plus high levels of crap and urine runoff in them. Trying to find a nice place upstream from these pastures that is for sell at the right price is well.... hard.<br /><br />And to make things more difficult, the way things are zoned, it is very possible to find a nice place that meets the criteria I am looking for, but have single or double wide mobile homes on either side or have a trailer park just down the road. I'm not looking down my nose at these people that live in trailers, but it does make it difficult to resell a place with this around.<br /><br />Good luck with your search.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967355941603195101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648644785345075469.post-10813397442700251582014-04-21T09:13:16.001-07:002014-04-21T09:13:16.001-07:00That last one sounds promising; keep us posted!That last one sounds promising; keep us posted!Rev.
