Waiting for contract


Still waiting to see the contract for the nashi block - the solicitor needs the building entitlement confirmation. Seems like the owner isn't in a hurry. I have no idea how close to the listed price you have any hope of getting an offer accepted but I since the nashi orchard is well above my budget I figure put in something low and see. The logical choice of block is for 1.5 acre place 1hr 45 mins from Coffs, that's well within my budget leaving me money for improvements. However it has little emotional appeal - being a paddock right next to an existing house with barking dogs with only a few trees and in full view of the main road.
