There's another real estate closing on Tuesday. It's one of Hick's tax sale properties that he bought when we were first married. Not the strip of land being used by another guy for his business. Hick has given up on getting anything from that one.
Anyhoo... this property is five adjacent lots at a local lake development. I don't think I've ever seen it. Hick might have gone once, just to survey his kingdom. At the closing when we sold our upper 10 acres, Realtor said she thought she had a buyer for this property. She DID!
We're not exactly getting rich off of our real estate dealings, heh, heh. For all her trouble, Realtor will earn between $100 and $125 on this commission. Hick called me because the title company needed to know the amount of taxes we paid on it last year. That was a grand total of $5.18.
I suppose the buyers want access to the lake. A place to park a camper, or build a little cabin. They should be able to do that with five lots. We're not using it. Hick can buy a few donuts with that $5.18 we won't be spending on the taxes.
As Realtor advertises, no property is too small for her to handle. Each sale puts her in contact with buyers and sellers who might use her services again. That's how we found her, when we bought Pony House five years ago.
Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm headed to the closing to sign papers. It seems to be a done deal, except the legal formalities.
DeleteGood idea to sell since you are not using the land. How big is five lots? How many acres would that be? one? two?
ReplyDeleteNot even that big. They're just lake lots, which people buy to get access to the lake, and maybe park a camper or put a shed to hold some of their equipment.
DeleteThe description says it's 10, 019 square feet. Or 0.23 acres. Better for somebody that wants to use it to have it, rather than it just sitting there doing nothing. The "neighbors" on each side might disagree...
