Certainly there are always the occasional anomaly, and you for sure found one, if in fact it is a carbon copy of a 320 at your home base and the rental rates are the same at both locations. Next time a tract comes up here in my wheelhouse, I’ll give you a heads up to bring your checkbook and you can go nose to nose and toes to toes with the fellas in my neighborhood, using your analogy, you most certainly ought be able to get a great buy since your 300 miles away. We’ll see if I’m wrong or not.
Of the four of us that have now said there may be a better buy some distance away, none said your neighborhood is a place to look for a better deal. Coup not taking you up on your measuring contest isn’t going to demonstrate if you’re right or wrong.
There do exist places where the neighbors may not be the ones that will pay the most for the ground. This is why realtors also advertise rather than just only drive around knocking on adjacent landowners’ doors. I’ve even heard of a scenario where the seller was so adamant that his neighbors not get his ground that he was willing to sell for less to someone else. It’s a big world of buyers and sellers, and sometimes it’s worth looking beyond what you can see from the cupola.
