[quote=familyguy]I took a quick drive by that place on the way home from work yesterday. I will say that it looks from the outside like the seller may be in a bit of distress. I say this based on the little signs such as, the flower beds are in poor shape and look like they haven’t been mulched in well over a year. There were mushrooms growing throughout a portion of the front lawn. Existing landscaped appeared to be unkept, etc.

That said, I would assume (yes I am assuming here) that if the seller was interested in putting on the best presentation in an effort to overcome the power lines, those issues could be taken care of for under 1k. That says to me they simply don’t have the extra 1k laying around and may really need to sell. I hope thats not the case as I don’t wish home distress on anyone, but that’s my observation.

Piggy backing on that thought, how about the house that sits on the corner of Stonecroft Terrance and Stonebridge Parkway…the power lines literally hang DIRECTLY over top of this persons property. So to go along with the hideous front landscaping they put in, they also have front row seats to the power cables overhanging their lot. Yikes![/quote]

btw, zillow shows a house on shadetree in the foreclosure process. it may be this one.

incredible, someone actually paid $1.44 mil during the peak on shadetree with the high voltage lines right adjacent.

there’s actually a plot of land at that Stonecroft and Stonebridge corner with the lines overhead crisscrossing the property. At least they didn’t decide to build on that lot. you got to wonder if the bubble kept going the builder might have just get tempted enough to build a house there.

How much does it impact the pricing? I am not too concerned about the health hazard for myself, but I guess it will impact the resell pricing.

ultimately, everything can be brokendown into price.

with Toll and Serenity prices for the same sized homes at $950k, adding $200k for upgrades in and out. This sized home with the type of upgrades you see should be $1.15 million.

You are thinking $800k lowball offer. So bottom line is the high voltage power lines translate to $350k. If you mortgage that at 4.5%, that works out to $1800 per month.

So just ask yourself this question. Let’s say you have the perfect house you want. Someone comes to you and say, we need to build this huge high voltage power line right in front of your door but we’ll pay you $1800 per month for the next 30 years.

Would you do it?

the higher the traffic speed the louder the noise. That street averages 50 MPH if not more at times. I say pull up a lawn chair at one of the corners one of these days and stay there for at least an hour to experience what it would be like for a long time to come.
