Strange Property Values

The two five acre properties next to me are Fore Sale.Both have Camp Trailers,Electric and Well.One has a pretty good size Shed.

The property with Shed $20K

The one with out Shed $6K

I can't figure that much difference.

That's not counting your labor. And what kind of roof? What kind of lumber? Painted? Gold nails used? *slaps head* These properties are FOR sale not SOLD so the prices are merely a "request". All else being equal regarding the parcels, I'll bet the $6K one sells first.

Yea whats Bad she tried to get me to sell it one time all she wated was $3K I could have anything over.Well I priced it to a guy for $5K he was coming out to look at it.She started crying wanting the Full amount.Well the Guy decided he didn't want the place and I quit trying to sell it.

She is in real Bad Health I figure she sells she will go back to Texas.

Too bad they're in MO. I'd snap them up in a hurry if they were in the area I want to buy.

Has either property been perc tested for a septic system or does either have a well already on site? That will drive prices up real quick.

Both have Wells,the Higher Priced one does have Septic.

The Higher priced one is on the North side of a Hill the other is little more on top the Ridge and Leveler ground.

It might be a fair price if it already has a septic system. How much does it cost to put in a septic system there?

For sale by same owner? I'd consider if there is a view, easier road access, better soil, better trees or plantings, etc. The shed & septic is probably worth a couple thousands. And maybe the one w/o would require something fancy for septic due to soil conditions. Or maybe she wants to sell the lower-priced parcel & would just as soon keep the other, for whatever reason.

It's two different owners.The cheaper one is better parcel and way easier to get in and out of.She is selling cheaper because I think she is dieing.
