The city wants to buy my property

[Tom Miller]

Like the title read the city wants tobuy my property it’s ran down. The city wants to tear the property and surrounding properties down 

Zillow said it’s worth 38000

The city offer me 13000.

I could use some advice

Hard to give advice with limited information, but as a general rule, the longer you wait and the further down the line their project is the more valuable your property will be to them.

Zillow (and all automatic online) estimates are very unreliable, so don't base on that. Ask a local professional.
