Not everyone leaves

I came across this at one of my inspections the other day for a recent foreclosure.  The home wasn't SO bad...but the pool.....can you say "yiiiccckkk!!"  ?

What impact on value does a pool in this condition have for prospective buyers?  Would the site of this turn off a buyer beyond the "how much to repair" question?!  Mental images play a big part in purchases!

Suggestion for the bank - pay the money to drain, clean and treat this sucker!  You will reap HUGE payback in this market for a clean, blue pool as compared to ......."Yiiiicccckkkkk!!!"

Make it a GREAT day!

Great photo, I'm not going to be able to get it out of my head for a few days I'm sure.  We have a lot of pools here in St. George UT but I've never seen one full of frogs!

Hopefullythe frogs will mitigate the mosquito population.

And that isn't even half of them in the pool Donna! 

Lynda - we recently had a case nearby where someone was in a comma for 4 days from west Nile virus - let's HOPE these froggers help with the mosquitoes!

Erika - at least this one didn't have snakes in it too!  That's another photo!

Great point.. The banks sometimes just don't get it.  The frogs will keep down the mosquito larvae though..

Not even close to being the worse thing I've ever seen in a bank owned property, but among the most interesting!

Hey Jesse - I am from Rome, NY - and I think some of the worst property conditions I saw were homes from back north!  I know when winter sets in, pipes burst, etc - those are the makins of some bad news! 

Thanks for the comment!

I agree with Jesse.  The frogs don't bother me nearly as much as snakes or gators would.  Up here, a gathering of Canadian Geese could quickly make a cesspool out of that pool.
