Dennis,
Thanks for the link to the listing for the 40 acres near the ocean at
Queets, WA, for $119,500. It sounds like a real bargain, but as a real estate
broker, I can assure you that there is a hidden story here.
If 1,512 people have viewed the listing and there are no takers yet,
you can safely assume that the property has a serious issue. My own guess is
that the Tribal Government has placed severe restrictions on development of
the parcel, possibly even forbidding it. Also, with property taxes of $63 a
year, I would be curious about what services, if any, the Quinault Nation
provides for my $63 ( fire, police, roads, etc.)
After meeting Patrick last month, I have been watching the listings of
acreage near the ocean, and have discovered that there are indeed some
bargains to be found, especially when we are accustomed to $500,000 houses in
Puget
Sound... but then again, life is always a series of compromises, and it
would be tough to move a family to the beach, simply because of a desire to DX
(as I'm sure you know!).
73, Gary
