Because of the property & location it was about 20% higher than equivelant Cheek/Lanc/Willy home. It was the lowest priced home this new (1990) in the Elma/Marilla area. I think last season the sellers outpriced it, and this season we were able to get a deal. Sellers were really tough as hell, I had to pay closing costs, but got a riding lawn mower & snow blower and got them down a little. Our realator says he took a hit on his comission to get them to go.

The benefit of this area is the taxes. We pay 60% of equivelant (property size) Cheek/Lanc/Willy taxes or about 50% of dollar value.

Sorry to speak so cryptic, but there will be a reason for me to drive a “lesser” car for a while longer. Bottom line, a happy wife makes for a happy husband.
