Well I do have a few realtors working on it for me, and I go in this saturday to get approved for the land loan, and a truck loan. Just never hurts to have guys around the places I want to buy keeping their eyes open too!

Hey Sheldon
To bad you didn't let me know sooner about this there was a place just outside of Radisson here that had a 3bd bungalow 70's house 160 acres of land and a quonset. The place sold for 85,000 only 2 miles to the divided highway to Toon town

Also Corman park has a lot of restrictions. Specially on cars sitting in the yards. They ride your butt to get rid of them or they tax you that you are running a business. Restoring older vehicles to them is not a hobby, its an eye sore to them. They even do fly overs to see what you maybe building or have on your property. They really want your tax dollars. That is why I'm glad to be in Vanscoy. Blucher does not have those restrictions, taxes I don't know about. My taxes are reasonable unless the closer to the highway then they go up.

Do you mean S.A.R.M., Sask Association of Rural Municipalities?

I know he said once that Blucher was going to be like Corman Park in a couple of years.
S.A.M.A = Saskatchewan Assessment Managment Agency
I find it funny that his job title acronm is A.M.A.S which is S.A.M.A spelled backwards but I can't remember what that one stands for.

The people of Blucher donot want to amalgamate with corman park. The restrictions would kick in and taxes would go up and they would not be allowed to do things they felt free to do before on their property. The same goes for Vanscoy we do not want to join Coman Park. If anything I rather see us join in with Montrose to the south of us. Then we would be as big as Corman Park . Their rules are just like ours. Keeps things more friendlier and easier living for me. At least I can keep on hiding the bodies.
Preppy If you know who owns that 150 acres and it is not listed. Why don't you contact them and see if you can make a deal to purchase without the realators. That way he gets more money in his pocket.
I have also been driving down this grid road that goes through the far end of corman park there is a for sale sign on some land there. It looks like more than 80 acres. The one thing is your quite aways off the highways so your truck will get pretty dusty there. I find at the far end of Corman park that way they get lax due to not many people out that way. Lots of trees and wild life too. It is on the grid road that goes from the Borden bridge down to highway 14.

I am keeping my eyes open pretty much everywhere around stoon, and its nice to hear some local thoughts. 66 Thats a great idea to purchase without a realator, but theres a few problems. 1 is if they listed with a realator they cant sell without giving the realator comission for I think it is 6 months. Second thing, I have tried calling a few adds out of the western producer, and most people want ot sell allt heir land, not split it up into one quarter section out of 10 or whatever. I also have found that alot of people dont realize how little their land is worth nowadays, and they still want a pretty penny for it.

I think it is only a couple of weeks after listing with a realtor. Yes the realtor has some recourse for a few weeks after the listing comes down. This is because lots of people in the past used them to advertise, then have a buyer that the seller has wait til the house is off the market. That way the seller saves money not paying the realtor and advertising. So changes came in. But when I sold my lake property it was maybe a month.
If you know who the land owner is, contact him see if he is willing to deal without a realtor and if he will wait that period. Maybe offer him rent to own, except the banks say rent should be this amount and anything above is the down payment. That was the route I went and the banks view of rent for acreage was very high. Glad it was a friend I bought from and just wrote up a receipt saying I paid him this much down.
Don't give up on that land too easy. Like I said it would not hurt to talk to the owner and see if he is willing to deal.

Ya I agree with the other guys STAY OUT OF CORMAN my acerage is on the border between Vanscoy and Corman but on the Corman side. Lots of time they didn't even want to grade roads in winter or summer for that matter. But go somewhere the reeve lives and look at the road.
