I also don't like the "gated entrance" idea. I'd rather find my own "place in the country", than theirs.
It's already hitting the market where I'm looking. Prices are down from last year, and most of the notices I see on Zillow are price reductions, not new listings. Higher interest rates are still putting upward pressure on homes at the bottom rung of prices, as people can afford only smaller homes at this inflated level of interest rates. But prices are still horribly high from what they were just two years ago, and that's just something everyone has to deal with.
That's a two way street, Chris. There doesn't seem to be any way to tell what kind of people might be living in the houses around the one you're thinking of buying. A nicely kept house could have a nosy person that will call the cops every time you try to change your car's oil in the driveway. A trashy lawn could mean it's a rental, or maybe just an older person that can no longer cut their own grass and can't afford to have it done very often. Or worse yet, a drug house. The agent I'm working with told me I can't ask if it's a good neighborhood, but I can ask him if he would let his daughter buy the house.
Not sure where this is but being 90 miles from Centerville it is out there somewhere in East Texas. Centerville being midway between Houston and Dallas is a long way from either city.Good morning! Low of 28°, headed up to 52° today. Rain showers this evening, then periods of rain around midnight, changing to snow by morning. Then a greater chance of snow tomorrow, high only going to 32°.
Unfortunately, the wind will be returning with a vengeance----- could have gusts as high as 65mph here, up to 80mph on the mountain peaks.
Our road is a mess! Mud, mud, everywhere...... I know why it's in the state that it's in.... by the cause of two idiot neighbors, doing things that they "think" will help with drainage. But now they are proven wrong.....
There is no reasoning with Bubba 1 and Bubba 2......
A question for you Texas guys:
How is the Centerville area? Looking at some land about 15 minutes outside of the town, off I-45. Supposed to be heavily wooded and multiple creeks. I still need to get more specific info about the subdivision, but they "can't" send me a subdivision plan..... I think it's more like "won't"..... it seems they really, really want a potential buyer to actually visit the site. Maybe for some high pressure sales pitch?

The video of the Clydesdales was scary at first. Glad the last horse was ok. I guess that was the literal meaning of "pile up".....
Going to make a run to Costco for fuel and a few items. I hope the list stays small....
I hope everyone's day goes as expected.
