Down the road from us 2.2 acres is listed at $75000.
When we moved out here people laughed, I said this land will be worth money one day. I tried to get hubby to buy more, but nooooo. When he listens to me we make money.
We did ok, we bought a foreclosure, fixer upper out where we live. Has almost 2 acres, had a 2000 sq ft brick house we have added to it. Also building our second garage and have a rental mobile next door we had bought for mom.
We paid $25069 for it in 1992. I looked at the closing statement last night, the outfit holding it wanted rid of it so bad I got them to pay for $2519 of closing costs, our closing costs were $69, but we paid cash too.
The last value I looked at was right at $200k and the sq ft isn't even right says 1695.
The kids next door have 3 acres and it was an old junk woodframe house on piers, they gave $180k for it, gulp! They have done lots of work on that house and property.
