Somebody I know is selling a shed for $200,000+

How much land, and where?

Here's the listing: https://www.coldwellbanker.com/va/bumpass/123-plum-tree-cir/lid-P00800000GOgAeJSbmqGcg9vT9KiGUwuaVQwfqdI
- I like the sofa opposite the bunk bed, nothing better than watching people sleep.
- Is that "bump ass" or "bum pass?"
One acre. By a lake. But I still feel it’s ridiculous. I hate the idea of what’s market value. To me it’s what is decent as a human being.
- Somebody you know is selling an acre of land on a lake, not a shed. This land is probably worth that much with no improvements at all
- Land where I live runs about $1M/acre.
  
  Decent’s got nothing to do with it.
- 80% of that value is in the land, assuming the lake is somewhat desirable to live by. 1 whole acre?? These are 2013 prices
- It's funny. I'm on vacation in a primarily summer destination, and my wife and I checked out some lake properties in zillow. She thought I was nuts when I said a house we saw was probably a cool mill. Found properties listed for up to $4m. Property values are bonkers.

🫤✋ Shed
😀 👉Tiny House

Town close to me has 800sq foot sheds for $237k

It's a tiny home on 1/5 an acre.

Insanity

I'm in middle Tennessee.

That would seem nuts except middle Tennessee is Nashville area? And it seems like the corporate overlords aren't buying things up there. That would be 700-800k where I live, and I'd buy it if the interest rates were lower.

On how many acres?

1

Looks like a great shed TBH.

Someone will probably buy it to make it an Airbnb "getaway cabin" at way too much $ per night.
- Probably already is. Looks insulated and has electric.

I dunno, 28 photos could mean 28 sheds... And that first shed is pretty nice...

this is a steal in vancouver there would be a 1 in front of the 2

Throw in an extra 60k and you get a 3 room apartment in the center of Tallinn with a balcony and a view across the whole city.

Please link, will buy.
- Looks like the 3 room one was bought and prices went up a bit but here's a 2 room one: https://www.kv.ee/muua-2toaline-korter-2018-aastal-valminud-skyline-3536689.html
there are many American cities where you can buy a 3 bed house for that price (Eg Atlanta)
- Tallinn is the capital so that's where the prices are highest here.
I know someone who is selling a pretty central two-room appartment in Tartu for 133.000€. And depending on the district, I'd personally rather live in Tartu than Tallinn. 🤔

The prices in Estonia have gone up like crazy these past few years.

I have questions. Are they known for bad decisions? Do you actually get land the shed is on?

Yeah it comes with land
- Ah OK, yeah, then depending on location, this would be normal where I am too. Sadly.
- Yeah you have it the other way around. The shed comes with the land, which is desirable. Imagine how much a completely undeveloped acre in/right next to a major city would go for? Location location location

He should get a second shed.

Imagine escaping reality to your very own private, adorable, and furnished lake house at Lake Anna, VA. Surrounded by lush green trees on a one acre lot, this well-maintained water access cottage is just a short walk from the lake, where you'll find your own deeded boat slip. Ideal for weekend getaways to enjoy boating, fishing, or just a few days of quiet peaceful solitude. Spread out inside in the spacious living room / bedroom combo, where you'll find quality LVP flooring throughout, a full bathroom with shower and plenty of storage space, and a convenient kitchen with refrigerator and microwave.

No stove, just a microwave. I think I'll pass. Lol

Imagine microwaving your tv dinner in your very own, private, affordable?, and furnished lake shed!

edit: i copy and pasted that above from the website (the quote).

"Plenty of storage" bitch, that used to be all storage!
- Bahahaha 🤣

Can you call it a shed if it has a minisplit? If that is a heat pump model then it makes my house look like a Trash-Co waste disposal unit.

I haven't seen anyone say this, so in case anyone doesn't know. If the land is worth 200K and has no dwelling, it's much harder to finance that. You either need a builder/developer loan with plans to build within a specific timeframe. Or, you need some other means to finance.

A bank won't give you a mortgage for land. Land, while having an intrinsic value is worthless to a bank. But land with a shed in which you can poop is worth something. No idea why, but that's at least one perspective.

Most often the case, depending on location/us state whatever system installed for pooping in that shed is a health code liability and therefore a financial burden.

ITT: A lack of understanding of what goes into housing prices.

It'll probably sell too
