    What’s really interesting is the sudden, almost vertical, drop of estimated market value shown. I doubt it has anything to do with being a hoarder’s house.

      I doubt it has anything to do with being a hoarder’s house.

      I’d bet it has everything to do with being a hoarder’s house, because an end-stage (severe level 5) hoarder’s house is only suitable for tearing down. The person who buys the place is buying the land, as well as paying for the demolition of the house.

      Description of a severe hoarder’s house:

      Severe Structural Damage to the Hoarded Home

      There is severe structural damage caused by the hoard. Repairs that needed to be done in the past that were inaccessible or unnoticed because of the excessive accumulation of belongings have now hit a critical point. The structural damage is widespread. The floor may be caving in across an entire room or section of the house, and the roof will most likely be greatly compromised.

      Extensive water damage will exist on both the ceilings and the walls. Multiple windows may be busted. Window seals and window frames will be rotting or disintegrated from water damage. Pipes will have burst and flooded areas like the basement without any objects being removed. […]

      Entire walls will have crumbled in because of mold damage. The weight of the hoard pressing on the drywall will have caused beam exposure. Places, like where the drywall has now crumbled to create a hole, are filled with hoarded items.

      And even that sharp drop doesn’t do more than chip away at the 250% increase in 8 years.

      I’m never going to own a home… ;___;

        Genuinely starting to feel like the only way most people nowadays are ever going to own a home is starting a commune and sharing the costs of a house over like 10 people

          If I could live in a triplex with one of my siblings and our friend, so each of us knows we have quiet neighbors who don’t use excessive amounts of utilities while still having privacy, that would be absolutely phenomenal.

          I don’t NEED a huge place, and a lot of things bigger than an apartment feel wasteful for just 1 or 2 people, but if I’m stuck with shit roomies/neighbors again I WILL begin killing and eating people.
