Land And Housing,
or landandhousing.com,
a new style of real estate service.
We are going to offer you a way to list, offer, sell, buy, trade, and browse real
estate, from your state.
We will offer:
A service which will be "patented" computerized © incremental bidding on
land tracts, in the exact sizes you desire to buy rather than the arbitrary size some
quick-buck worker wants to survey, while he keeps one eye on the clock, and another on his
production schedule.
Which is of more importance ? Land surveyed to your specifications, with you able to
bid up to your budget limit, or the whim of some transient worker who is paid by the hour,
claims no responsibility and disclaims that liability rests with him, someone who has no
reason to be concerned about the exacting needs of a potential purchaser which he has no
practical way to identify before the sale offer is initially tendered .
A willing buyer and a willing sellor, a meeting of the minds, and no coersion on
either side, which is the US Supreme Court definition of a fair market price. We also want
you to take note of the economic principle that you do not hire a person who does not
increase your "capital", your endeavor's value, by the addition of his
"skill" or talent. The mere fact that a person claims to be due a large fee as
reward for a certificate on his wall is irrational thinking. Entitlement to a slice of
your "pie", must depend upon his skill (human capital) applied to make your pie
larger by more than the payment it claims from you.
We also have the overview of the PACE (irrevocable Purchase of Agricultural
Conservation Easement) program in Kentucky, and the various TDR (revocable, tradeable
Transferrable Development Rights) programs applied in various other states. A landowner
who has a desire that his land remain undeveloped would want to determine how much the
development rights might be sold for separate from the land, since the long term
investment-value of farm land includes the increased pressure to subdivide that land for
occupancy of homes and businesses. This process is based on sound economic reasoning and
complex formulas. If the right ever existed to build or live on a piece of land, no law
short of condemnation with 5th Amendment protections of Federal Court can reduce that
right.
The Economic articles are in progress today.
We will do the surveying, tracting and subdividing on a computer screen, which
reduces labor cost, allows custom bidding, closely matches the desires of the most
interested bidders, and makes that huge broker's fee actually increase the value of your
property, rather than just being a slice of the "pie" for some transient
stranger, while the landowner get less for his valuable investment property.
