And you might end up dressing like a pimp (hat tip to Flip Wilson?) Oh the horror! The Humanity! Hugh is a manatee? Oh the humanatees!! |

The price of the home means nothing in terms of what I said, MOF, the higher the price of the home, including airstrip, further limits the resale market. These are not speculations, they are mathematical and historical facts. Duh, every "specialty" neighborhood poses a difficult time for resale. I for one would NEVER buy a house in a golf community, but I'm building in an aviation community. There are more golfers than pilots (sad, but true) so the market isn't as limited, but pilots are more fun :-}! It will be great when i's done! Richard Thanks, I really needed that today!!!! Margy |

I believe any "specialty" neighborhood will reduce your potention buyer pool, be it a golf course, airport or lake. It's just what people want. Of course for the "right" buyer the values go up because it's on a golf course, runway or lake. I for one would NEVER buy a house in a golf community, but I'm building in an aviation community. There are more golfers than pilots (sad, but true) so the market isn't as limited, but pilots are more fun :-}! Depends on whether the Mile High Club or the On Green Association is your preference. Bingo! |

It was the guy down the way that had major damage on his house from the balls (he did buy right on the turn of the green!) I was the general contractor for a house that was built off to the right of the tee, a perfect distance for a good slice to hit right into the property. Balls being hit into the yard and house? You bet! One example, is the fact that a track loader was only on the property for about 6 or 7 days, all totaled, for clearing the land, digging the basement, and then for final grading. During that time, a golf ball bounced off the loader.. TWICE !!! Both times the loader was sitting about where the swimming pool was to be built. Almost every time, the errant golfer had the guts to come onto the property to try and find the ball. I saw *nothing* about seeing a ball, every time. ;-) I lost count of how many times a ball bounced off the house as it was being framed and having the Cedar siding being applied. I told the owner that I felt it was necessary to put "golf ball window protectors" on the 4 windows that directly faced the tee, and he agreed. I put 1/4" Plexiglas "over window" shields over those windows, so he was not constantly replacing glass. I agree with the fact you are far more likely to be hit with a golf ball, than by an out of control airplane. -- Jim in NC |
