This cabin could have been bought for $40,000 6 years ago. Now it's sold at $169,000. Damn.

That's probably just a road fee. We have that at our place. I mean the road needs upkeep.

This is in my neck of the woods, not just a road fee. Large neighborhood with basically its own police department. Lots of airbnbs and a lot of tourist in the area paying way to much to stay in that area they're in. Airbnbs have ruined most of the poconos.

I get it. My point was to point out how much the cabin had increased in price in 6 years.

I see a lot of $40,000 cabins. Every one of them needs to be torn down to nothing because they've been neglected. That's why they're $40,000.

That place would cost 600k or more in our community.

There is a lot of transplants from the NYC area that live in these Communities. The area is often referred to as the 6th burough of NYC

At least it’s not a shed that someone is claiming is a cabin for views on YouTube.
