scared myself tonight

I made an offer on a piece of land tonight. It is fairly large and we'd probably build a 2600sq ft house on it, so there's $260,000 minimum plus the $80k for the land, plus development plus landscaping. Holy crap!

Those numbers are certainly enough to pucker up MY nether regions....
Congratulations... (assuming the offer is accepted, that is).

Egads.
$340K would barely buy a driveway here in Berkeley. I'm so depressed. Good luck to you.

Sounds like a very rational investment to me...here in Ventura County you *might* be able to get by with an investment of about $1.2-$1.4Million to accomplish the same project
 We already have the big house on the large lot, and it's a beautiful thing to know it's yours. I don't know where exactly it is that you're planning this venture, but good luck to you! _______________

Property and home values have risen here in our little bourough in western PA. However, the prices you mention - we can't even imagine! There was a large home with one of the larger pieces of land in the community (needs some work) that sold at a repo auction some time ago. It was purchased for around $20,000. They thought they could sell it and make a quick buck. No buyer. That's typical here. The nicest places I've seen is out a little ways. I thought of buying it. It's a large beautiful brick ranch on several acres of nice land. It went for an unheard of price; $90,000!
It's a small world - but - we must be in the "twilight zone!"

With that price one couldn't even buy an outhouse here in southern Cal!
