I would just shrug my shoulders and say meh, but I want our house to sell. I like to try to look at the positive aspect of all things, and so far, the best positive aspect I can find is that at least there won't be 4 or 5 cars parked in the yard of that house (as was always the case before they vacated it) when people come to look at this house. On the down side I am not seeing any for sale sign, no for rent sign. No sign of anyone doing any renovations before placing that house on the market. Nada.
From all I can tell, that house has been, much like so many others, simply abandoned.
I'm not really sure which is better, a neglected, abandoned yard or one with 5 cars parked all akimbo across it.
I worry for my community, seeing so many empty houses.
I worry for my future. I worry.

Good luck with that. I know the market hasn't been fairing well.
:-( Keep fingers on one hand crossed and whisper a prayer into the other.
Maybe you and your neighbors can get together and mow the lawn and stuff to keep the neighborhood looking nice. I know you're trying to sell and that house will be on the market too, but if the yard grows wild it will hurt your house's value too.
Farmer's Wife - Thanks!
Jay - yeah, we'll be taking care of yards...only problem is at this point, we - the collective neighbors - are taking care of more empty yards than occupied. It's to the point now of almost every second house sitting empty, needing tlc...
