Vacant Homes Create Problems for Owners!
  There are several ways a vacant house can cause a major financial drain for the home owner:

  • Vacant houses are far more vulnerable to vandalism, frozen water pipes, and water leaks
  • Many insurance carriers will not insure an unoccupied house, or if they will insure it, rates are several times the normal rate, as much as 7 times more expensive!
  • Leaving a house vacant can cause serious deterioration reducing the property's value
  • Problems like freeze damage, foundation cracks, the loss of valuable landscaping, and the breakdown of HVAC equipment through inactivity, are common
  • Holding costs also increase dramatically across the board because of repair bills, utility bills, and higher maintenance costs

  Vacant houses do not sell as quickly as nicely kept, furnished homes because they have less curb appeal; are often dusty and lifeless; have odors and dead insects; and are hard to show because they are cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
  In the eyes of many buyers, an empty house carries a "Distress Sale" connotation lowering its perceived value. Vacant houses seem to invite "Low-Ball" offers.
