Offers I can't refuse?

[Torvy]

Today in the mail I got not 1, but 2 cash offers to buy my property. I'm so lucky.

One offered me 55% of what we paid for the land 2 years ago. The other offered 73%. The house that I will likely finally move into this week cost 3x the land price.

I think I'm going to pass on their 'generous' offer.

Any other absurd offers out there?

Unfortunately yes... I get those rediculous offers frequently for the building lot next to my house. Usually at around 20-25% of the assessed value.
What's sad is that this must work some percentage of the time.

I get a couple phone calls per month, but never listened to the offer.

I get postcards like that all the time. I save them up and write REFUSED across my address and send them back when I get a stack.

I do low key worry that these same charlatans will try to 'buy' it without me.

I wonder if my sort-of DIL could send a cease and desist letter.

I have some in in Florida in an as of yet undeveloped area, and get calls and mail offering to buy it for as little as $200 and acre.
I'll pass on that.

Make a counter offer to both of them, 55%+75=130%.

We get them on undeveloped waterfront we own. Crazy lowball "offers". We get fewer now than when we first bought the land. Not sure why...that market has been reasonably stable.

Unfortunately out tax assessor thinks our property is more valuable every year, ours gained a little more than 5% this year.

I have the opposite issue. No kidding. I have mutiple properties that are mixed up in all the geolocation services. Add my tax address and you get one of my undeveloped lots. I get offers for way more than that property is valued and assessed as. I actually corrected Google maps a while back one property. Now I kind of wish I had not.
