They let them sit and rot for up to years before they sell. They want to make the largest profit possible on the REO, so they wait and wait for a better offer and won't sink another dime into maintaining it. Sacramento looks like a war torn city too. Perhaps we need some ordinances to make sure the banks are required to maintain the properties in a safe condition. Blame the bank for that house now.

Pre-crack, of course. Well, I assume. lol I've been complaining about the real estate market for 10 years. About that time, people around here started regularly using real estate agents to sell their homes, and it has fucked it up completely. I saw the downturn a 1 1/2 yrs ago when places near us (a VERY desirable country area between two towns with a tiny local school that is almost private school level) started sitting on the market for months on end. Previously, a listing for an undeveloped 1 acre lot at $20k would go in a matter of days (I know for most places that's cheap, but $6K was a high price for land here until the real estate agents came in). NOT anymore! Wow, you lived in a crack house! Pre-crack, of course. Well, I assume. lol

Luckily the mortgage problems haven't hit locally yet. The banks & realtors here tend to ensure you can comfortably afford your house. The southern & coastal areas are being his though, although the coastal areas do better than the south part of the state in the cities.

Unfortunately it happens everywhere. It happened in the home I grew up in which was on the west side of Salt Lake City. It's happening to the neighborhood I live in now in Idaho. People just seem to think the American dream is something that is handed to them, and they don't realize you have to earn it and work for it and fight for it (and sometimes, water, fertilize, and mow it). Awesome blog. Keep up the good work. -TNO This is so messed up. Unfortunately it happens everywhere. It happened in the home I grew up in which was on the west side of Salt Lake City.

I guess it would be hard keeping the front lawn tidy when all your botanical effort is getting squandered on the hydroponics setup inside though. Because the weed(s) seem to be flourishing!
