This may be a very dumb question, but couldn't you just buy the property outright without having to list it for sale?There may be some positive movement in the works…
Im aware of 3 right of refusal situations to arrive at Fair Market Value and in all cases it was successful in selling.
One involved a group of Investors that pooled to purchase the California Landmark property The Nut Tree for those familiar.
The municipality had the right to match but dragged its feet for years and the heirs were more than impatient.
The heirs forced the hand by listing the property forcing the city to put up or shut up when a top offer with proper funds deposited in escrow was accepted.
The city closed the deal and took ownership…
What my feeble mind is trying to comprehend is why don't your siblings just allow you to buy it outright for the market value other than trying to "maximize" their profit?
How much older are you from your siblings?
You stated that basically everything you own including all assets are going to your family when you're gone. When you buy the house, won't the same house be willed to the same family again?
You buy it at $975k, two siblings split the $650k (325K each) and then say you live another 20 years and pass, the siblings (or their offspring) still get the house so they can make money all over again.
What I'm failing to understand is why that isn't a "win win" for everyone?
