What's 'fair' if the property owner doesn't want to leave? Like a deal I'm working on today, where the owner offered the buyer a substansial discount if it were to close "quick". The buyers response "money is not the issue, I need to use the building". Same with eminent domain and the ability to walk to the beach or pay your mortgage - "the seller's quality of life". Put a price on that. With quality of life, I would consider family, how long they've been in the home, neighbors, friends, proximity to work - and equity, mortages, payments etc. I have a price on my home (in my head) in Ocean Twp to get me to move...sping is coming and so will the questions...and I ask "how much you got?". For some, you simply can't replace the space. Who want's to live in Colt's Neck anyhow? It's a 20 minute+ drive back to the beach... Yahoo!
