I’ll be right over! Just kidding.
Properties aren’t selling. I didn’t realize there were three properties for sale in your neck of the woods.

Two! The 50 acres behind us for over 2 million dollars, they'll be keeping that until they smarten up, and the five acres down the end of the road. It has a major pipeline and huge power lines across it! The house is going "as is", old two story in bad shape! Only 500,000 for that place!

Those big power lines will keep me away. 5 acres with a bad house, 500k??!! It’s because of you. If Pearl is there, property values go up!!

There was an empty 5 acre lot next time me. I called the owner every year for 25 years and he wouldn't sell. I spoke to him one week and the next it was sold to someone else. I gave him and earful and a sermon about keeping your word when you make a promise. Thankfully the new people took down only the trees needed.

It's all over. The last two lots in our hood were built out this summer. Nice, modern homes, but no view and small, like 1,300 sq ft and no perimiter walls - which are running $30-75,000 now. They've both been sitting. There are 4 on our street fixing to come on market. One the guy died, the others are in poor health and the blind guy had to move with family, so his place has sat empty for a year.

It's not going to be pretty if all those places go on at once.

I'm afraid we're stuck here in the Wasteland. Our only hope is to make enough money here to start escaping in the summer again.

I worry about our immediate neighbors selling, it's ALWAYS worse people who move in.

The place at the end of the road has a contract on it. The realtor showed it twice yesterday! 500'000$ for five acres, the house is "as is", and a major pipeline and powerlines running across it! Should be interesting to see who buys it!

 

[Bluetick21]

Just imagine buying what you think is your dream plot building a house. Moving in and then realize pearl is your next door neighbor!!!

 

[d_marsh]

They probably scouted out the area and decided if anyone made it past @Pearl's house they fight was already lost and they should just flee.

 

[Pearl]

They fled, lol!! They had an open active contract (owners accepted the offer, but the buyer can back out), and the buyer backed out! I clean for a local realtor, so nosy Pearl called him!! He called the listing agent!! Apparently someone (ranch across the road) shot a bunch of hogs (3:30 am a week ago Friday ) and six of them made it on to the the property and died scattered around the driveway (oops)!! They also didn't like the sinking mound of broken up concrete the former people used to fill in the pool they didn't want!! So the wait continues.........

Easy come, easy go. I am sure a half naked woman riding a donkey shooting into the air at Midnight didn't help. Or maybe it would have.
