If neighbor says they own it I would tell them I plan to construct a new one next to it on my property line even if I needed to lose a couple of feet of yard. 

They are set to change the zoning in my area, allowing ADU's and other construction.

I have been doing construction my whole life so the work is not something that I am worried about.

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend negotiating a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

As time went on, prices came down because buyers saw the challenges with rebuilding--trade labor, insurability, not knowing what will be built on adjacent lots (like one lot where the owner built a house that looked like a concrete mushroom and that devalued the adjacent new construction homes built to more conforming architecture), and so on.The weakness with moratoriums such as these is that it is now illegal to offer less than FMV as of 1/6/25--but what was FMV on 1/6/25? 

However this is something that will for sure affect MF construction this year and sfr is these Tarrifs hold.In the NW I know a lot of lumber comes from CA / BC to be specific but my lumber packages for homes i build in Charleston SC are pine so I know it local wood .. but you know the lumber brokers they will gouge if they get any chance to do so

The bones were solid, but it was a project.

Philly has a ton of opportunity, but since you are new to the area, I would suggest waiting six months before you buy anything there so you can really understand the block construction of the area.

Any constructive criticism is appreciated.

The provider I am using allows for 60 days of continued coverage once construction.
