County offer?
#1
We just received a letter from a local realtor saying The county has offered to buy our house. This proposed buyout from the county is part of the geothermal relocation process. The letter or contract does not give us very much time to decide to accept or reject the offer(June 30th 2015). If we reject or simply do not reply by that date then we are automatically dropped from the relocation list with no other counter offers.

Now because we haven't been allowed much time to make a decision about this recent county offer. We are hoping that many of you here on Punaweb will offer your advice, views, or opinions. Which then may help us make the best decision for the family.

Allow me to share with you a few important details first.
Our home and property is located in the leilani estates subdivision, we have been on this geothermal relocation list since 2012. We bought our house back in 1999 before the expansion of geothermal production in lower puna. The county offer is for $137,500 which IS $35,000 less than the current market value and nowhere near the 130% they were relocating others for in the past. What They are offering is 100% of the assessed property value from the year of 2014(Lava flow year). Unfortunately we haven't seen any other relocation expenses like moving, shipping, or airfare being considered or included in this one time offer.

We have wanted to relocate for several years now, even have an idea of where we may want to relocate. So our questions are as follows.
should we take this low and outdated offer from the county of $137,000 with no realtor add on fees?
Should we reject the offer and put the house on the market by realtor for market value $170,000?
Why doesn't or isn't the county offering the 130% like they once did for others and is that fair or right?
Should other relocation expenses be considered?
Because it took several years to get to this point Should we automatically be taken off this geothermal relocation list if we reject this one time offer from the county?

This type of lowball buyout really shouldn't end up costing the county much because The county has plans of actioning off the property to recoup the cost of the buyouts. From what we understand Most on this geothermal relocation list have already turned down the relocation offers because the offers have been to low with no moving expenses included. We would appreciate any discussion, opinion, or advice on this as we really don't have much time to decide. Mahalo in advance.
