Nobody needs the aftermath of that (except those of us who do well with foreclosures I suppose).The other thing to keep in mind is that the Bay Area is behaving a little unusually.

This is not unusual.  

The VT house is unusual.  

And while the data is compelling, the conclusion of your analysis (that this bill does not reflect an unusual spike in energy usage in the summer months) implies that the circumstances are inconsequential.

In my area, it's not unusual to have multiple offers within hours if it looks like a deal.

Unless what you are selling is an extremely unusual product or if what you are selling requires an extremely rare skill to understand.

You may want to learn more about the easement and then ask a local attorney to see how valid or unusual it is. 

Suggest better underlayer using acoustical and moisture materials.While Vinyl is very tough and affordable, people will catch on that they used recycled vinyl (car interior) and limestone.

The property has 1/2 an acre of land (typical for my neighborhood, unusual for our TN metro area) and is fairly updated with a wood fireplace, granite, hardwood, crown molding, and a newer roof/windows/doors.

For myself and my unusual "resource land conservation credits" niche, I see a huge window of opportunity to pick up inexpensive rural TDR credits and the large commercial sites before the inevitable market demand starts running up prices.
