SERVICE <br /> <br />~002 <br /> <br />City ofRoseville <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, 1\.1N 55113 <br /> <br /> <br />April 16, 2001 <br /> <br />'\ <br /> <br /> <br />We reviewed the past correspondences, inspection and appraisal information. We noted that <br />Dahlen & Dwyer, Inc., who appraised our home, took into account, as part of their appraisal, <br />that the sale of our home would be a cash transaction and that the City ofRoseville was planning <br />to demolish the structures and redevelop the land. The appraised market value was determined <br />to be $63,000.00 in January of 1998. <br /> <br />We appreciate yet cannot accept your offer of $55,000.00 for our home because it is below the <br />market value. We understand that this offer is an increase from 1998. We have also reviewed the <br />reasons why you feel this is a fair price. After reviewing all of the information from the appraisal <br />and records of recent home and lot sales in our area, we feel a fair price for our home is <br />$68,000.00. We believe this is a fair price for many reasons: <br />r o..~prc.L....~c.9 <br />· Our home was assessed a~.OO three years ago by an independent firm. <br />· Home values have increased substantially in the past three years and our home has been <br />improved. <br />.. Our home would bring more than $68,000.00 on the open market, yet we believe the <br />$68,000.00 asking price is in our best interest because there are no realtor fees and the city is <br />a cash buyer in 30 days. <br />· The tax value assessment, that was mentioned in your correspondence, appears to be lagging <br />behind the actual market value of our home. <br /> <br />We are very anxious to accept a reasonable offer from the city. We love Roseville and have <br />enjoyed living here over the past ten years. We are reviewing our options as time moves along. <br />We have considered renting this home but would much rather see a beautiful new home <br />developed on this wonderfully large lot. We plan to make a timely decision and keep the process <br />in motion. <br /> <br />Please contact us at home at 644-3950, or Mick at work at 763-417-8638 after you have had time <br />to review this counter offer. <br />r /! <br />Sincerely, ~7 ,9' ( / // . <br />e74?,e.-r;t~a- If/; ~ <br />MiCkandMetissav,t...y , ~-' <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />\ <br />
