County offer?

Gypsy there is another thread here talking about the lava flow heading towards the sea. This is big good news for real estate values. It is my prediction that Leilani will see an uptick in home values especially the more economical ones.

Your home may go up in value this year.

County money on the other hand may depress values if they turn around and auction houses at a loss.

In your shoes I would be objecting to county money if that is what they intend to do.

Find out how many homes they plan to buy.

Also if I was in your shoes I would accept rejoice in the fact that the geothermal plant produces far less noise and pollution then the levels that most of the world live with.

Last year giant clouds of smoke from Indonesia came North into the Philippines. I am living aboard my sailboat and cannot simply close windows and turn on AC. Each morning my eyes were like crusted shut from smoke coming from hundreds of miles away. Imagine what it was like from people in Indonesia and neighboring Malaysia.

PS. I sold this year. It took nearly a year to find a buyer. Buyers in my price range wanted homes on larger parcels. Mine was on just a 1/2 acre. So I had to drop price below cost.
