So
there you have it. What would it cost to build this house, plus the
garage plus the shed, plus the fence? And besides, what would a city
lot cost anywhere else? Just a lot, no house, no nothing.
Steps from a lake to boot. No, it isn’t on the lake shore but
it really
is just steps away. So what should this cost?
$100K ?
or $150K? , more ?
???????????????
I’m not sure what this would cost to rebuild.
However, the insurance company set its replacement value
upwards of $150K.
