@Buddy- Good information!
I found an old post that you had mentioned $2.00 per inch when starting negotiations. That post was from 2013. What is the going rate (per inch) to start off with in today’s market? Is it still $200 and is this formula still a preferred method of getting a price to start negotiating?
Also- what are people seeing nowadays around Ward County? - Thanks!
Below is your post and a link to the post for reference.
What “going rate” means to me is that is what trade the weakest and less knowledgeable landowners signed for. Last 2 ROW that I negotiated were for $900 per rod and $675 per rod – on the same line in the same county. All line sections are fact specific and how hard you want to be.
I will try one more time to explain the $2.00 per inch thing. Here is the equation:
(Nominal diameter of pipe) x $2.00 = Asking price per foot
A 36 inch pipe would be priced out per foot, using the above formula:
(36) x $2.00 = $72.00 asking price per foot.
