How does a few forclosed homes in my neighborhood affect my home value?

asked by P S - 2 Answers

I'm retired I'm not moving anywhere. I don't care if the value of my home go's to a dollar. So, don't use the excuse that whats bad for them is bad for me.. Not everyone is being forclosed, only the losers that over-extended themselves yes, and as I said.. I don't care about the value of my house. I care about having a roof over my head.

It's unfortunate that property owners not in foreclosure are still effect by foreclosure. That's because the foreclosed properties are being dumped on the market at extremely low prices. When enough of these hit the market, that creates a new market. However, there is some good news for people like you (and me). When the property values are driven down, that will lower your tax assessment and you pay less in taxes. realtor.sailor ... See all 2 answers
