We have found a realtor we trust. We’ve have bought a house in 28 years but we sold one our son lived in for several years while going to college and she helped our son buy one last year. I trust her 100% to look out for our interest. Arly do you have that feeling with your realtor? If you do trust what they are telling you.
Yes. I spoke with the sellers realtor for 5 minutes and moved to another. This guy has been passing good pertaining info to us.

People here are already putting in solar power at there camps. I'd guess 90% of the camps we've looked were not on the power grid but had solar or a generator.
I think it's very viable where you are, though you will need a backup generator. We are at about the same latitude, and I expect similar conditions. Winter days are shorter, that's a given, but temps are colder so panels perform better. I have actually recorded all my highest output days in the depths of the winter. But we also get days on end with heavy overcast, and you will get very little production then. That's where the backup generator is critical.

We thought we'd make another offer after the other folks see it. That are the chances they'll make an offer?? This property does mark all the boxes we were looking for in a property.
I think there are a number of considerations, and perhaps no obvious best path so you will need to use your own judgement.

The seller dropped the price and it brought in another prospect, so they are probably feeling better about finding buyers. At a minimum, I would expect them to see if the new prospect makes an offer in hopes of doing better than your offer. If they do come in with a better offer, you might lose the place to them.

But if the new prospect doesn't make an offer, then the seller is left wondering how when they will sell. They could accept your offer, or make a more attractive counter. Or if they really think their price reduction will surface other prospects, they may continue to wait rather than come back to you. You could re-offer at any time, keepign in mind that the longer the seller goes without any other interested buyers, the more likely they are to accept an offer from you.

If you make a new offer shortly after the new prospects see the place, I think it signals that you really want it, and at a time when they potentially have multiple people interested. That's the ideal situation for a seller - having multiple people interested who you can leverage to get the best price and terms. This makes sure you are part of any bidding, but will also likely cost you the most $$.

And the other alternative is to just meet their price and buy it. I think I have only ever bought one property where looking back on it, I think I paid too much. And I have bought quite a few parcels very much like the one you are looking at.

It all comes down to balancing the price you can get against the risk of losing the place to another buyer.

I'll try get and post a Google image of the pond n cabin when home. It was originally a dam, then it partially washed out, then beavers redammed it as it sits today. It needs materials put back in AND a overflow. We didn't really want a dam or dam repair project but it will increase its retail much when we sell it.
