Diana, that's something that I've always found frustrating. If a home doesn't fall into the mold of typical housing, they can't find comparables for them to evaluate them properly. Hubby and I built an earth bermed house and ran into that very problem. It didn't matter that it had 10" walls and was super insulated... that it had tile countertops in an area where most have the cheaper laminate, etc. Since they couldn't find a comparable house nearby, it was devaluated. Just being a rural property puts you at a disadvantage because thre are so few places near you to begin with! Nevermind that being a rural propery with 20 acres of woods made it a hot commodity when it came time to sell!
