Was this a short sale or REO property? It's not unusual for home owners to intentionally damage their property when they know they are going to lose it. Too bad.

I would not have wanted to live with whoever was living there. It is sad that people act that way.

Jack, I listed a home one time that had a gunshot through 3 walls. I went looking and found a bullet stuck in a 2X4 in a closet. Thankfully, the home was an REO and I didn't have to deal with the bunch that had lived there.

Amazing the misguided anger we see nowadays. I understand people are upset that they are losing their homes, but to take that anger out on the home itself is irrational. We see this type of thing all the time in the Phoenix area. Best of luck for the rest of the year.

Jack - I just don't understand people. Why do they have to vandalize property. If you really think of it what really good comes of it.

Jack, is that what a stone looks like? I never broke any so I really do not know they like that.

Some angry energy is in that house. What a turnoff for a potential buyer.

Those are pretty pricey too. Did you write that up as not operating as originally intended?

We see a lot of strange things out there. The homes that give me the goose bumps are those that have bedrooms with interior locks, like a chain, but the door has either been broken down or the lock forced and ripped from it's bolts. Destruction of property is one thing, but what I refer to above might be more symptomatic of domestic violence.
