a $442,155 settlement, more than $300,000 above the appraised value of her home in 2000. I would be delighted to sell my house to the government for $300,000 above its appraised market value.

It says appraised value, not appraised market value. That was a government appraisal, the same government that wanted to kick her off her own property.
The appraisal is sickeningly low for the area, too. Therre's a damn good reason they wanted the land, because it's very valuable. I think they got screwed all the way around.

I would be delighted to sell my house to the government for $300,000 above its appraised market value. More than likely, I would take the offer as well. However, as time passes, with this decision, the offers are likely to become lower and lower. The government can now force you to take the offer, whether you agree to it or not.

I would be delighted to sell my house to the government for $300,000 above its appraised market value. I, on the other hand, would not. And I'd be right pissed if I was forced at gunpoint to accept their 'offer'.

I would be delighted to sell my house to the government for $300,000 above its appraised market value. If someone wants your home badly enough to use the government to *force* you to sell it to them at price $X, then clearly the home's true market value exceeds $X.

...I would be delighted to sell my house to the government for $300,000 above its appraised market value....It said the appraised value of her home in 2000. What's the appraised value of the home now? There's been quite a real estate boom since 2000.

Appraised for real estate taxes or actual market value? Don't know about that part of the country but my market value has nearly doubled since 2000. The real issue is the government forcing her to sell her home, it is unconstitutional.

While morally this situation was wrong, I have to say, if someone, government or otherwise, offered me 440 grand for a 140,000 house, I'd take the money and run.

I would be delighted to sell my house to the government for $300,000 above its appraised market value. But then you're willing to sell, so there's no real problem.
To: Alouette
What if that appraised value was from 6 years ago? and the value has gone up more than $300K in the meantime? not an unusual result when lakefront property is "discovered".
To: Alouette
One issue is wether the values had been depressed by the project before the value was set.
