Do not know what is really going on, and uncertain of just a regional thing where there is and has been a massive surge of move ins to the rural area here. Houses stay on the market a VERY short time, sell for ask or get into bid wars HIGHER. Properties that five years ago struggled for Months to years to sell are selling now in weeks to maybe not even hitting listings. |

Rural I assume. Everybody getting ready for the SHTF and moving to the country. The cities are letting BLM (burn loot n murder) and Antifa run wild in the streets. Some believe we’re headed down a very bad path. Prepped supplies and anything ammo related are back ordered beyond time. |

Normal here.... People working in Toronto, will by ANY house here for a million, tear it down, build their new dream home and call it a DEAL ! They also want to get away from the gangs/drugs/murders and oh yeah TAXES...... I could easily have gotten another 100k for my 1ac next door had I sold outside the family... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

I know a lot of people are heading to western Maryland because they can work from home and don't have to deal with all the traffic

| Same thing going on here. Thousands of new homes destroying hundreds of acres of farm ground that can never be brought back into production. Just because someone's wife wants her own nag or bunch of filthy old money eating goats. But in this part of the country there are hundreds and hundreds of wind generators going up. People building houses/developers dont like them. But at least we can still farm the ground. Sorts puts the kibosh on building here. |

Seems when I was working over in Minneapolis , wondered if the fore sale signs or the Biden signs were the most prevalent - but it seems the Black Lives matter signs outnumbered them both . Friend who was caretaking a place had to move as owner put it up for sale , on that street located just off Lake St in the riot area - about 1/2 the places there were up for sale . Exodus from inner city is heavy - but problem is the same individuals seem to bring the problems with them ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

Houses in this county are selling in just a few days and many times getting more than the listing price. West and north end of the county are the worse (closer to metro Atlanta) but it is getting down into my area in the south of the county. Available building lots are predicted to be used up by the end of the year. We are building new schools just about every year and are still overcrowded. When I started with fire/rescue in the late 70's we had 2 ambulances and 3 rescues in the county, now we have 12 ambulances and 10 rescue units. I am on the county board of tax ass.......errrr.......tax assessors and I see a county wide revaluation coming very soon. I am ready to pack up and move to the farm but the boss says no. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Happening here too. About a dozen new houses being built right now. It was all crop land, then someone got it and divided it all up and sold all them little plots. Actually they are at least a few acres each. A few years back one of my neighbors had a moving sale. They sold their house before they got a sign put up and got more than what they listed it for. I keep telling the wife it's time to get a condo! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

I’m working on the edge of town building a mini ranch. Just put 4 rail wooden horse fence around 15 acres. Built a small expensive cabin and building a barn as we speak. Yesterday I heard equipment working. I started paying close attention. It was 3 different back hoes working in 3 different locations and a 4th with a hammer on it hammering away. This little rural area is booming. Makes me very nervous. |

Traffic has increased 3 fold this year. Feel like we are being pushed out. We have a large acreage buffer zone so I will never have to see any neighbors unless they are creeping around in the treeline. It happens. I liked it better when no one was around. Only had to run off half dozen people over the years. May increase, I don't know. I planted a few small pin oaks last year and my oldest son was bitching that it will block the shooting lanes when SHTF situation. I told him to relax I have almost finalized the plans for the gun turret to put on the roof.

We also are being pushed out by new residents in the community. A house down the county road sat vacant just long enough to have all the copper wire ,appliances and interior doors ripped off. My good friend just bought this house and 5 acres for $30,000. Left his 16 foot trailer sit in the carport one night a week ago and it's GONE. Who wants to live in a community where your neighbors have no respect for what is yours?

Some of these new comers drive these narrow county roads with 1 lane creek crossings like they are headed to Dallas on I 20. I have met some of them coming right down the middle in a blind curve and had to hit the ditch quick at the risk of a head on crash.. It's like they don't care and have no respect for others. They love giving you the finger too. I hate having to drive my tractors on these roads anymore. If you put mail in your box to be sent and put the flag up. Chances are good your sent mail will be stolen. My parents brass grave marker got stolen to be sold as scrap. Talk about lowlife. The little freewill church got its Sunday School room A C unit ripped off . A deacon found it the same day in a Henderson Pawn Shop. |

| Timber prices here on the stump are lower or as low as they were 6 years ago. I got much better prices 20 years ago than today except for veneer hard maple and walnut is still about the same. Lumber prices have quadrupled and the quality of it is the worst I have ever seen. |

| Got really good money for median grade Walnut here this summer, quite happy with that, now cedar we have was looked at and the guy declined, paying next to nothing for Grade Cedar and not even bothering with anything else unless give it to them. Thinking of just dropping the ones causing farm issues and building a burn pile. May rent a excavator next spring and root the least value lines of them and clean the place up. |
