Home and Auto Unreal Estate Game: Wyoming - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 10-17-2016, 12:40 PM

Assume that you idly buy a state lottery ticket while getting a doughnut at 7/11, and voila! You're a winner! You win your choice of one the five houses that will be shown.

I'll give you five houses in a state, and you vote on the house you would take.

Background rules:

Assume that your job situation won't need to change - you can find an identical job or work from home or whatever, so jobs don't matter.

Consider the house itself and the location and anything else that's important to you (schools, restaurants, lot size, etc.). Feel free to do a google map search to check out the neighborhood and the area.

You cannot sell the home. You can live in it as long as you like, but when you move out, it reverts back to the state as a prize for a future winner.

All houses will generally be in the $900,000 to $1 million price range.

All maintenance and utilities and taxes are cost-neutral compared to your current home.

If you wouldn't move into any of these homes, you can instead accept a cash prize of $50,000 (tax free).

Today's state is Wyoming. Here are your five houses:

Cheyenne - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...9_M81713-02298

Dubois - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...7-07369#photo0

I dunno why but these seem very overpriced to me considering they are in wyoming..I figured you could get more for a million bucks in wyoming...but ive only looked at the 1st two so far

**Ming the Merciless** · 10-17-2016, 01:23 PM

5 acres in dubois or the 80 acres in pinedale....

yes pinedale is dated but you could fix er up

yah

hmmm which one though

edit: went with Pinedale and I would fix it up......

not a bad way to spend the rest of my life

Graystoke · 10-17-2016, 01:39 PM

Pinedale, and its not even close.
Blue Ribbon Trout stream access.
Fishing access in Wyoming is tough.

threebag · 10-17-2016, 01:43 PM

Pinedale Followed by Cody as very distant second choice.

Actually, I'm a bit surprised myself at the same thing.

threebag · 10-17-2016, 01:53 PM

Yeah i was thinking that myself. Maybe they aren't priced right. One seems to have been on the market for close to 3 years.

Of course i value distance from people rather than neighbors. My scopes are dialed in.

I live on a quarter mile section with 1 neighbor presently.

I should look it up.

Which one is the furthest away from the Yellowstone super volcano that's going to kill everybody in the world?

I'll take that house.

Chiefnj2 · 10-17-2016, 04:04 PM

Pinedale.

If I'm moving to WY I need private hunting and fishing property. The house in Dubois is gorgeous though.

**Gadzooks** · 10-17-2016, 05:29 PM

I've had to alter the rules to play along, otherwise I'd be taking the 50 Gs every time. I'm picking the house that I would live in if I was forced to live somewhere in the state.
You'd have to do a lot better than the 1 M dollar range to get me to budge from where I am now.
