In this particular town, everything is included in an HOA - even pastureland miles from the center of town. The few non-HOA props are sold for a huge premium. That said, I've read dozens of CC&Rs, and the HOAs are generally very permissive compared to the ones here in Tennessee.
With all the wildfires that are followed up by flash floods out West, you should consider that as an opportunity to get some freshly cleared land as well. Many of those areas will be prime again in less than 5 years after trees start growing back. Of course, if those neighborhoods have HOA's, they may be required to plant full grown trees with specific height minimums and maximums far more quickly.Deals fall through all the time in real estate. Most common are financially related due to mortgage issues with the buyer -which means nothing wrong with the property, and inspection issues that can't be resolved, in that case things get more worrisome.
Man, I tried to buy a house a couple weeks ago, we were the only people that saw the house and it got bought out from under us by someone who just saw it online and made a cash offer. I can't image spending that much money on a house you have never even seen in person. This market is insane.
I noticed he's reluctant to tell us where the place is to keep the bidding wars on that one cheap property to a minimum
The last time I travelled up there, I didn't see 1 person wash their hands.....including myself.
Seriously though. The news makes it sound as though the further North a state is, the more likely they're going to have case spikes. National news has highlighted both states recently.Well, if Oregon and Washington do actually become devastated at least we now know who to blame. COVID super spreader scarpozzi! 😄

I'm hopeful the states seeing the worst surges get things under control for the sake of the healthcare systems and patients struggling with other illnesses.
Preemptive policies get one voted out of office. The American electorate isn't in the mood for adult behavior.Preemptive policy should be implemented with that in mind instead of waiting until after the numbers start inching up to change course.
I find the more land, the less per acre. Been seeing the odd 40-160 acre plot go for around 60-70k in my area. Too far from work to live there as it would be like an hour out, but I do want to secure something for future retirement as well, and to have a place to go camping. (these are basically forest plots). These areas are in super low tax areas too, like 50/year, and no building permits needed. They sell fast though... next year I will get a realtor and try to secure something before it sells.

HOAs are essentially quasi-governmental corporations but cannot be held accountable as easily as actual governments can be held to. You have to pay lawyers fees to dispute something. It's a war only the better off can afford to engage in.That would make this a "hard pass" for me. Surely you can find something you like better...not a "settle for" in a place that DOESN'T have a HOA.
too late for you, then. Us Americans would have bought up all of your cheap Canadian peasant land for our own individual needs when it gets too hot for our children to live at US latitudes.
The reason people go to Florida is to escape taxes and expensive housing and then die there. (yes, dark humor, but sooo true). Or for Cubans, to get out of a crappier place. The coastal cities also have the ocean tempering the temperatures just enough so it isn't oppressive hot too often in summer.Honestly that's why I want to acreage. I know within the next few decades most of the US will be inhabitable, and Flordia will probably be the first to go. All those people will come here.
That and and Ford having cancelled the tree planting program in Ontario, they don't replant after logging anymore so we will start to run out of forest.

It never was a real estate sink to begin with, hence its lax tax code.
Canada is not cheap and has even less tolerable weather, which is not what the grey hairs going to Florida want. I'm pretty sure dying in -10 degree weather in Winnipeg is not exact how someone wants to spend their golden years.
Although, many would appreciate how Montreal's strip clubs are more lax than any place in America.
Ok, but North Dakota has all the Canadian weather problems but gets to be part of the Union.Thing is in a couple decades Canada will have Florida like weather. Florida will have weather closer to what hell has if it's not under water.
And a whole lot of Trump voters xdSo North Dakota is like Canada but with American health insurance?
235k is barely a big city.And a whole lot of Trump voters xd
235k is barely a big city.
People are so spread out it's obvious they are owner-operators if they seriously are long-term residents there.
