Bryan, same around us. Houses on our road with 3 acres, 1800 sq ft are in the high $400 to low $500K.
Won't even tell you what we are being offered with 15 1/2 acres, private pond, 4 garages and a 2500 sqft custom home but there are more zeros than I ever thought I'd see. |
No boat, back in the suds.

hard to sell with numbers like that, hard to sell when you have 15 acres also. Man that's a tough one for sure. |

Just my opinion but this is the time to cash out your chips unless you want to pass your property down to your kids. Cash out now when the market is on fire and relocate down where it’s sunny and warm and where the redfish and snook roam and enjoy the rest of your life without a worry in the world.

I hear you Eben. As I said to Ross, it has become all consuming. It's like all Jeanne and I talk about. |

If you're in a good place financially, you're happy and your children are rooted, don't stress over it. Live your life...you'd know if you wanted/needed to sell.... |
 ...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Literally the only non-impulsive decision you've made in the last 15 years. Buy a boat, sell a boat, buy in Warwick, sell in Warwick, buy an r/v sell an r/v....  |

15 acres is my neighborhood.... I know you love your land, Paul, but that is an opportunity that I doubt I could pass up vs. the chance to not have a financial worry for you and Jean, ever again. |

Ross, I agree but where do we go? We love the privacy, the freedom. Hell, I walk out my back door and shoot my pistols and shotguns and no one says a word.
We are literally 4 miles from the center of town with gas, grocery store, hardware, post officer.
I don't know. We talk about it all the time lately. It has become kind of consuming.
