If we hadn’t waited until after the tax credit was gone, my house would have been $25k more than we paid for it. I’m quite happy without it.
I don’t think I could have gotten the seller off the price much more. I knew they had turned down a couple of really low ball offers.
We got a engineered, milled log house 2400 sq ft on 43 acres with a 3 car garage across the street from the second largest lake in Texas for $85 a sq ft and $1,775 an acre... I don’t think we did bad.
