Empty properties suck the life out of a good neighborhood.

A significant number of vacant homes in any neighborhood attract crime and drive down home prices.   Empty houses have no residents to support neighborhood services or local business.  Vacant property is poorly maintained, making neighbors feel unsafe and uneasy.   Most importantly, they ignite additional forced sales and foreclosures.  In short, vacant property is a blight on the landscape.  They pull down the value of every house in the neighborhood.

Smart sellers, in great neighborhoods, should not be discouraged by the “get a deal mentality” of late.  Buying a home is one of the most expensive items most of us will ever purchase.  It is not just about getting a “deal”.  Our homes reflect our values and lifestyle.  They are where we live everyday.  Smart buyers understand the value of a good, safe neighborhood.  They also realize that buying a home in a speculative, unsafe area, plagued by foreclosure’s and vacant homes is extremely risky and is probably no deal at all, regardless of the price.
