>>3654447$30,000 for 10 acres! Not bad. Id be lucky just to find a deal like that out here lowest 1 acre is around $6,000-10,000 in new Brunswick and just 30 ot so mins from the next major town/city ol so shouldnt cost a major fortune to connect to the grid if I were to buy said land myself.
Tbh id rather build from scratch since it allows me to gather a good portion of the materials myself such as the base materials to make and mix my own concrete rebar and lumber etc. And then I can even make a basement and sub-basement shelters as a emergency need use section to protect from many different things as well as serve as a possible private training area/gun range or whatever and on a plus side I could build the house with really good sturdy foundations that can stand for many ages with minimal maintenence.
Honestly buying in the market now would be suicide for most starting a new life being the cheapest home anywhere in canada now goes for half a mil these days since the market boomed for home value so my idea is safer and in the long run more handy not just for myself but for future development etc if I bought land I could section it out and build vacation homes for rental use or resale down the road and never break the bank being that we could always use more houses and they only have up to go for value from building to sale.
