Camp property search

In our bid for this property, we added a clause its invalid if the dam washes out before we own it.. Raining hard here right now. We don't need it.

The owners have 4 days to respond but as stated earlier, we have low expectations.

Sorry, I am too lazy to read the whole thread, but do you know why the property you are bidding on is for sale?

The listing has gone "stale" and the primary reason that occurs is that it priced too high. Trying to understand why the asking price is higher than the market can help you decide what to do. How many owners are there and what is their motivation.

There is a nice camp property 1/2 mile from me. The guy who bought it decades ago passed away. Two of his sons want to cash in and the third son wants to keep it. It gets visited about twice a year and the son who wants to keep it lives in Colorado and has not seen it in over 10 years. He either doesn't need the money, has sentimental reasons or is ticked off at his brothers. But it is not getting sold because of one holdout.

If the property you are looking at has been passed down to the family, family dynamics might be playing into it.

All we know follows. The property owner died last year before retirement age of cancer. He had a wife and kids but the property is being sold by the deceased mans father who resides down state. He made the comment "I didn't know there was a cabin on it" which indicates to us, he'd never seen the property and has no interest in it.
