Trying to post for the third time here because for some reason my device has picked up some bad habits or virus bugs today.
Dakine thank you for the reality advice.
Carey, your the best and went above and beyond with your great advice and links. I did mention the 2015 deadline big oppsie to the realtor and she told me to just cross the date off and initial the proper 2016 date,lol. The realtor did let us know we could buy back our property at the county auction and even move just down the road if we wanted to. This is not what we want or intend on doing because we don't feel that would be right to do. We would much rather move off island if its made slightly more possible. We think these concerns may become a reality for others though because of the lower county buyout offers coupled without any other relocation incentives.
Pahoated, all remaining on this relocation list have recently been contacted this way by Clark realty with a similar offer from the county of only 100% of their 2014 assessed property values. The difference in our case is about $40,000 because a 130% of our assessed property value of $137,000 even in the year of 2014 would come to $177,000. This offered amount difference makes the whole relocation process away from lower puna or geothermal that much more difficult,jmo.
We don't know why the county made us wait several years for this type of changed or 30% lowered offer. We didn't ask for, or want to experience yet another frightening geothermal blowout on the night tropical storm izelle arrived.
We will be calling the county planning dept Monday (holiday today) to talk story a bit and see about the possibilities of extending the deadline time or a counter offer. We will also be looking into close property comps this next week. PWeb, Thank you all thus far for the added advice and opinions.
