Is it worth it to buy a house in what is essentially the middle of nowhere? The price is unbeatable, but it’s far away from the nearest town by about an hour.

There are families looking for this type of property to live in isolation, so I can tell you that if you have your audience, you will not have many offers, but what for some may be a problem for others may be a great benefit rarely found.

If the house has autonomy of energy and services it is a good investment, towns tend to grow over time, many reports show that with the wave of Latinos entering our country our population is destined to grow by 14% in the next 20 years, so surely that house will increase in price over time as long as it is maintained.

If your intention is to resell that house, it is not a good option, because I suppose you want a quick capital return to buy another house, then you can have money detained for a long period of time.

If you have time and money available, it is always good to take a risk with an excellent price, if that is how you say, the price should not be very high, which will allow you to access a home that can be a long-term project, but most importantly is that you already have it in your hands.

The good thing would be what you want to do with it, whether to sell it immediately or wait for the market to improve for that area, if you have the possibility of holding a positive stabilization in your favor in the real estate market, do it, it is better to have it in hand than not to have it.

It is always good to have an ace up your sleeve and it seems that this is your ace, that is, sometimes we can get clients who are looking for a property like this and they are usually people who want to take advantage of their solitude to create (I am talking about musicians, artists or writers), and they are willing to pay high prices for the perfect places.

Nope. You wouldn't be able to sell it. The only people who move to houses in the middle of nowhere are those in horror movies.

It depends on what you're looking for in a home. If you're looking for peace and quiet, then buying a house in the middle of nowhere may be worth it for you.

If this is a house to live in and you're looking for a more urban environment with access to all sorts of amenities, then living in the middle of nowhere may not be the best option.

It depends on your needs and what you consider "nowhere." If you're looking for privacy and want to get away from it all, then a house in the middle of nowhere could be perfect.

I wouldn't do it. If you're looking for easy access to conveniences and amenities, "middle of nowhere" is not the place for you.

Don’t expect much appreciation

Have people received inflationary raises? My dad received a letter stating that they’re giving him a 6.5% raise + a one time lump sum of $750 bc of inflation, retroactive to July 1st. He works for a university and is part of a union. Kind of feel like my company is being shady because I work in CRE & we do raises + bonuses in February which was when I was planning to ask for an inflationary raise. But I feel like a lot of companies have done this without having their employees ask?

3 tips I always give to first-time home sellers that make my work easier:

1. Try professional photos. You have one chance to impress possible buyers. Use it wisely.
2. Be flexible with home showings. Maybe your possible buyers won't appreciate your house's potential if there are dogs running around or too many people inside.
3. Respond promptly to a purchase offer. Some people don't have much time to wait for an answer. Be quick and responsive!
