Man’s home never connected to sewer… Yikes!

March 11, 2011 By Ryan Lundquist 6 Comments

Thanks to Sonja for tipping me off to this story. What type of problems might exist when a home is not connected to the sewer line for twenty three years? Might this impact marketability? Any health issues? Watch the video here to listen to a story from a Stanislaus County home owner (City of Ripon).

Let me close with a statement from the news story: “The problem has been repaired, but the sudden absence of regular “fertilization” may keep his lawn from looking so lush.”

If you have any real estate appraisal, valuation consulting, or property tax appeal needs, contact me at 916.595.3735, www.LundquistCompany.com or via Facebook.

Mowing the Lawn on Bank-Owned Properties?

February 20, 2010 By Ryan Lundquist Leave a Comment

One of the visible impacts of the foreclosure crisis is unkempt lawns. Although banks are supposed to take care of their vacant homes, that doesn’t always happen right away, so home owners surrounding the property are left with a dilemma of what to do. 

If the lawn or vacant lot next door to you looked like this, what would you do about it? What sort of impression do you think a situation like this leaves on neighborhood visitors? I’d love to hear what you think.

This photo was taken in Stanislaus County today on an appraisal inspection. The neighborhood is five years old and most lots are built out, though there are a handful of vacant sites like the one above.
