Homes are still a good investment
opportunity although the prices are gradually
escalating. When we came here 20 years ago,
homes were relatively cheap because land was
only about $500 per acre. Now it’s
more like
$2,500 to $3,000 per acre. Thus, home prices have increased
significantly. This is particularly true if you are looking at homes on small acreage. Good 5- to 10-acre parcels carry price tags of $4,000 to $5,000 per acre. Of course, it's somewhat more if the land has large trees or a pond or a creek. Therefore, homes with a lot of beautiful old oaks or a pond have really increased in value. Homes here make particularly good investments because the taxes are so low. In fact, taxes in some counties are only about $600 per year on a $100,000 property. On top of that, it seems our rural homes are actually assessed rather low -- sometimes at only 70% to 80% of market value. Call Colonial Farm Credit (800-777-8908 ext. 25) for a loan. |
