Good morning!!!!

[sam5570]

Thank you! ALL of you who responded!
They did accept our counteroffer, so we're heading into a new home!
Here's the listing:
82 Stafford Meadows Lane, Bethel VT 05032 | 3 bed 3 bath on White River $275,000 | MLS# 4210360 | Bean Group Real Estate
But we didn't pay anywhere near the $275K asking price. Wifey and I were just talking about this, BTW...I think we both mostly excited about having a washer and dryer at home!!!!

congrads Roy i know you will be glad to get the move done.

Fine looking home, Roy....:thumbsup: Does that exterior picture show a typical amount of snowfall? If so you are gonna get a LOT of seat time during winters !!!

Those pictures were taken about three weeks ago....still most of the 10-12 inch snowfall from 3-4 weeks back on the ground (we've had a couple days above 30 and one day above 40 since).
Now, we have a major snowstorm coming in...minimum of 12" to as much as 24". That starts tomorrow (Friday, 08 Feb).
Most of the seat time will be mowing. There's a good 2 acres or a bit more to mow...then about 5.5-6.5 acres in the lower field. All level though...

One of my first tasks is to contest the assessment...

Taxes....DOUBLE YIKES !!!! Mine here in mid-Michigan are about $3200 a year on a $200,000 home. Sales tax there is 6%, same as Michigan. Have to wonder why the disparity for property taxes as the income tax there seems roughly comparable to Michigan's.

Roy...beautiful stove. No doubt that is the reason you purchased the house, right?

Rural Vermont towns are just high high in tax rates...fact of life. However, I will contest them.
As far as the stove...it's a nice stove, but we bought the place because of the acreage, level lot, close enough to neighbors (but not too close!!), paved road and it's a one story place (first time we haven't had two floors).
The kitchen sold the wifey...the outside sold me and the washer-dryer sold both of us!
