the problem, is IF there is an HOA, and even if the CURRENT rules let you do what you want, no guarantee they won't ban stuff like shooting and hunting going forward.I like this. Wonder what the HOA restrictions are?

Cut their heads off with an axe or wring their necks. That’s we did it when I was a kid.I'm not sure how you're supposed to keep the chickens down to just 12 without discharging the firearms.
Well this sucks. We didnt get it. We bid 25K over asking, no appraisal contingency and a huge down payment and someone beat us in all cash.Found a place in Falling waters that we really liked. First one we wanted to put an offer on in almost 3 years of looking. It listed on Thursday, we looked at it Friday, put in an offer Saturday morning. Yesterday we were told there were 6 offers and they will be reviewing and picking one this evening.
Thanks. It's really rough. I'm discouraged but my wife is really crushed about it. She was really counting on this place. We're both sick of this little box we've been living in but it's really starting to get to her.Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. Housing and land prices here in WV, especially in the eastern portions, have gone absolutely berserk. I keep looking for a piece of land for "weekend stuff" but I haven't been able to find much unless I want to go way west or way south (from the Eastern Panhandle). Hang in there. Something will break in your direction eventually.
I dread the time when we start looking for a place to move to, out of Maryland. It won't be for a few more years and who knows if the housing availability/market will drop back to normal supply/demand then. My wife really has no idea about how hard it is to find a new home in areas other than Maryland... she is in full expectation that it will be a simple process.Thanks. It's really rough.

I am not going to pay out gobs of money for overpriced housing. That will be a hard fact for her to accept. If the housing market is still crazy in a few years, we may be staying put and will have to think of other avenues to vacate this state.
And first time home buyers are just screwed.Selling high buying high or
Selling “normal” buying
“normal” is basically a wash.
If you sell high in MD chances are you’ll still be ahead of the game buying high somewhere else. GL

I can attest that it sucks majorly.Very true
I’d hate to be starting out now.

I hope you're right and that that will push inventory up as well. The discouraging part is less the prices and more just finding anything. This was the first place in almost 3 years that we really liked, good house, over 2 acres, no HOA, 3 car garage, and that also had the internet i need for work. The vast majority of what is for sale is crappy builder homes on tiny lots with no trees, no privacy, no space. I wouldnt buy one like that if they were going for half the current prices.Hang in there.
The good news for you (less so for sellers) is that last month was the slowest month for existing home sales since the start of the pandemic: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/19/exi...-to-lowest-level-since-start-of-pandemic.html
Expect existing sales to go lower, which means prices will drop. I'm already starting to see price cuts on properties farther in-state from the panhandle, it'll take a little bit, but those prices will drop in the panhandle as well eventually. And when they do, you'll be happy that someone beat you out and paid too much.
The cure for high prices is high prices.
I'm really not sure. If you look at the satellite map, there's nothing else around. It's obviously set up for a camper, so I doubt there are building restrictions or such covenants and hunting is likely a-ok. I think it even says hunting on the real estate agent copy. Shoot, give the agent a shout and see what they say?

My only concern is that there looks to be a chicken farm about a mile north that could get a little aromatic in the summer doldrums, but only if the wind is blowing from the north.
Any airport communities in WV?
