13 acre parcel near me went up for sale, asking price $66k.
I consider it fairly unbuildable - access is via a more or less vertical cliff face, and it's adjacent to a working quarry.
I offered 50% and was laughed at.
Today I saw that it's under contract.

2/ There's a narrow 10' wide right-of-way / easement over another property to connect to my street, but I'm not convinced that that can serve as the legal / official / only access for firetrucks, etc. (based on my partial knowledge of planning department rules). Curious.

3/ I don't understand this statement * "too much" ? * "things sell for more than they're worth" ? https://twitter.com/nichofury/status/1278669515660943370 …

4/ Yep. And some new ~ 3,000 ft^2 houses have gone up in town and sold for $600k, so it's a plausible thought. Personally, I'd like that. Couldn't hurt our own property values.https://twitter.com/sirgawain2100/status/1278677012928958469 …

Serious question: is there value in “raising property values” when you’ve already decided that this is where you’ll live? Or is mainly a “more options are better” outlook in this regard?

Kind of a lot of downside, because the town will eventually reassess and your property taxes will go up. Nothing like Prop 13 in NH...

uh, there is tho RSA 40:13 implements SB2 which means that towns that so opt can't raise taxes without a majority of citizens voting in favor if taxes are raised, or if they're held the same, they're apportioned across all properties evenly, by assessment, which is 3rd party

Interesting, I thought it was still the old valuation * mill rate. When I bought my house for less than the town had it valued at, they reassessed it and adjusted my tax bill down.

the mill rate is calculated by dividing the total budget by the total valuation of houses yes, if a new house improves a neighborhood and increases value of 10 adjacent houses by 10k, and rest of town by nothing, -> a SMALL increase ...but new house added to total val-> DECREASE

Cynically, what I've seen for most of my life is that the mill rate is relatively static, and if there's extra revenue, they find something to spend it on.
