Having been in the residential construction and real estate business for a big chunk of my adult life , I can assure you that being surrounded by a dirtbag or two will cost you MUCH more than $10k on the typical $250,000 house in this area.
I'll take the POA/HOA over losing 50 to 75 grand because my neighbors decide to landscape like a pick-n-pull.
I'll only apply that to subdivision type areas. Given a big lot out in the sticks , my stuff will start looking like a pick-n-pull too.
Can't wait till I get out there , until then , I'll use the POA/HOA to protect my investment.
You might be the realtor that called the city or HOA on that guy to clean up the neighborhood to make a couple more bucks on a deal. ;D Seems like the only time the city comes poking around and hanging signs is when a property goes on the market. I understand your point but I dont think we talking about front yard pick-n-pulls and "natural" landscaping. More of a respect and tollerence for your neighbors. I keep my place presentable and expect the same from my neighbors while respecting their right to enjoy the use of their property even if I don't really like the butt ugly green Walt painted his house.
