Yeah, we passed up the chance for some land five years ago when we got married cause hubby had an objection to living in a mobile (I grew up in a mobile, shouldn't everyone for at least a few years?) It would have been perfect out east of guthrie....

Prices have sky rocketed the last five years! I'm hoping it will go back down soon since I've seen the same land (different listings) south west of the city for sale for nearly a year now with no bites, but they are still sitting there at 10,000 an acre.....

then when the auctions come up people pay list price

I don't understand it......

There was one I really liked the info on last week in Wanette ... 20 acres, a 3 bed, 2 bath brick house with a big barn and 20 acres listed for around $80K. I guess it sold already, since it was a really good deal. I love to look at the houses for sale each week, although I have no desire to move.

Also, we have a house near Shawnee on an acreage, but I don't know if Gerald will sell it yet, with prices so low. I think Gerald wants to rent it out again. It doesn't have any barns or chicken structures on that property though

We are really wanting farmable land, wanting to do the whole self-sufficent living thing, though we expect to be largely dependant on other incomes for some years. Hubby and I are the type we will do just about any job, just one of us would need something around the 40K range.

I would love to eventually end up in BFE, but financially not possible right now. The more land the better of course

We are aware we will have to settle for less to be close to a large city, but look forward to one day getting 100+ in BFE.... speaking of mailboxes, I want a place like my sister once had, it didn't even have an address, just a cross street

Well, I just put a quick coat on the kitchen.

Unfortunatly it was from a can of diet coke that exploded when I dropped it.

I think I'll see if the wife would prefer a nice caramel color instead of the blue she wanted in there.

okccarla - thanks for the link! I've watched a couple auctions over the last year (Brother-in-law is in real estate and honestly he is part of the reason prices are outrageous..

I can't tell you how much land he has bought up dirt cheap and developed.... makes it hard for me to be around him.... ) I've been disapointed at the lack of deals by the time the bidding ends. Especially when half the time the property needs a LOT of work.

don - thanks for the link. a couple of those look promising.

I hate it when I do stuff like that!! My oldest sister made beans one time. Mom liked to do them in the pressure cooker

well sis didn't let the pressure off and blew them all over the kitchen! We were cleaning beans off places when we moved out years later!

We have three places for sell out here with acreage...all for $200k+ None are worth it and nobody out here has that kind of scratch!

Isn't that the joy of being youngest, teach, nothing is private cause the youngest is happy to share every story

No wonder the older siblings always sit on the youngest, tie them to something, etc
