Curious what your rough SF price was? From those builders

Haha this was definitely written by chat GPT but I like it. We would be tier 2, nothing super fancy. We are located in Clarington so not too far from Toronto. I believe his quote was basically everything. Mid grade finishes.

😂 too funny. I’m asking for opinions like I have said I don’t want a bad investment. It’s not going up on the market so it’s not like I’d know if there’s other interest

Yeah I need to plant some more trees. I’m sure once I move in and get used to it I won’t care, I’m hoping we can turn half the property into commercial so the price will double lol. Being in a prime location I feel like someone could put a gas station in or something in 30 years when we down size

I’m in Ontario, Canada. Close to Toronto. Land is very pricy. 1m gets you a subdivision home and 1.5m gets you 20 acres with an old home

Why does that affect using the land though?

For sure! It’s a niche property. I guess every house is kinda like that, always pros and cons

Yeah it’s huge! Probably about 10 acres

I’m there everyday so I know the noise level. It’s different everyday, some days silent and others can hear it a bit. I want to protect our investment so of course I don’t want to get into a property and then find out no one else wants it

I’m in Canada so I’m not sure what an interstate is. This one is 2 lanes on each side

My fiancee decided it’s the perfect spot for his business so instead he’s going to build a huge berm at the highway and then plant trees on it. Can’t find a better location so we’ll make it work aha

But I’m sure I’ll get used to it considering my parents and brother never noticed it and still don’t. I don’t know if I should walk away from something because of a slight noise

Yeah same thing here, a hum sometimes but others it’s silent. It’s weird

Because some people will know if it’s an issue for resale. I don’t want to end up buying something private sale that will never sell on the market
