lifelong friend is selling his family spread
No, it ain't SoCal beachfront, but this is a good representation of how much you can get these days. Two acres, private, gated, cul-de-sac  Attached File Attached File |

Why is he selling?
TV above the fireplace.  Interior looks dated. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why is he selling? TV above the fireplace. Interior looks dated. I agree on it being dated, but look at the furniture. That room is more for entertaining than watching TV, I wouldn't consider it a big deal at all. My uncle just had a TV installed above his fireplace in his living room and when sitting on the couch you have to lean back to watch it. Fucking retarded. I'm not sure if the OP meant to point out this was a fantastic deal or a high price. Looks like a nice enough house, but it would go for a lot less in many places and a lot more in others. ETA: If you look up the address there's some either super sketchy ass apartments or some section 8 shit in his backyard lmao. And a sketchy motel you rent by the hour across the street, right next to a property management company (which appears to have more shitty apartments). Plus a funeral home and a church right on him. Fuck that noise. Looks like a neighborhood that you'd have to worry about people getting in your pool all the time. Nevermind being right at two presumably busy interstates / highways... I don't see any noise barriers so I bet there's plenty of road noise. What a weird place to just plop down what appears to be an otherwise decent small neighborhood... it doesn't look like a case of the surrounding area just going bad looking at the layout. |

The cantilevered models run about $1,300 depending on shape and size. Those look like sand bases. Ours slides down on a fixture bolted into the deck that rotates 360 degrees. |

Dude...I'm sure that it's a great house.
But: -It's in Beaumont, the most violent per capita city in Texas -It's right next to I-10. Like hear it all the time. Oh yeah, and the violent homeless population that likes to hang around there. -It'll flood. Badly. Probably even without a hurricane, just heavy rains. He could skip the pool, he'll have enough water there to swim in. -You'll be able to smell the refinery, have to evac if it blows/leaks, and you get to hear the alarm tests pretty often. -His taxes are probably $7k per year. Been on Realtor for 218 days, and he'll be lucky to get $425 for it. There's some nice areas in SETX, but that ain't it. I moved from there 6 months ago. We sold our house for close to $400k, 7 acres, comparable to that otherwise, but no shop, and that has a bigger garage. My house was in a slightly less shitty area, 20 minutes from there, and not in the city. |

My little townhouse is worth more than that. Then again, I am also within a mile of several restaurants, pubs, a post office, gas stations, parks, a river, etc.
But, comparable remote land around here goes for millions. |

Or click on Crime on the map. Click on the "flood" button on the map. Oops, it floods. I was there for Harvey and Imelda. I also recall I-10 flooding just during heavy rains. All. The. Time. Now zoom out on the map. 300yds from the I-10 and EasTx interchange. Very loud, especially since the trucks have to slow down around that curve. Less than 4 miles from the closest refinery. So he'd be in the mandatory evacuation zone if it blows. Do you live in Beaumont? |

Or I could buy this place on 23 acres and not in Beaumont for a smidge more.
Or go opposite route and get this one on about 25 acres. Sorry man, you buddy’s place isn’t bad but for almost half a million, I’d want better land. |

Not my style
Still seems expensive for what it is. Been on there that long in this market? Something is wrong with it. Price location condition and or both. Edit. After looking more it’s all 3 Price-too high Location- terrible. Interstate nearby. In the city. And directly north of your backyard is an apartment complex that has terrible online reviews. Who would want to be near that filth Condition-it’s clean but dated. The older, dark wood stuff is not desired by many buyers now |
