Here are a few photos I took while driving around Poinciana Florida today. If it's true that a picture paints a thousand words then I guess these pretty much sum up what's going on with the Poinciana Real Estate Market.
IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE!!!
MOVED ON WITH NO FORWARDING ADDRESS!
TRYING TO MOVE ON!!
NEED I SAY MORE?

BB, I liked James comment above. This would be an opportunity to start a landscaping/yard clean up business.
Hi Bryant,
A sad tail, isn't it. To think the homeowner would allow their property to detoriate to that extent. In addition to it being less then attractive the property is screaming abandon and calling out to be vandalized.
Couldn't an arrangement be made to pay for grounds maintenance at the closing table?
BB, it looks like even the landscapers are upside down in their business. Just not enough money there to keep the economy flowing. AJ
When I relocated to NY, leaving my daughter (20) in my house in Colorado, this is EXACTLY what happened to my yard. This is very sad, indeed. I'd be afraid to walk to the front door, wondering about what's lurking in them thar blades...not to mention inside...the HOA'S (or what remains of them) must be sick with the way that things have evolved.
ughhh I hate to see that.... so sad all these homes sitting vacant and still such a huge population of homeless here in the US.
<sigh>
BB- Yes, in fact I've been saying all along it's a jungle out there for a while now - but, meaning in turms of being in the front lines of real estate sales....by the looks of many of the properties you photographed, the visible jungle says it all.
Wow, those are some scary pictures of your area. We see a few of those, but they are few and far between.
Man B, you are living in the jungle. Forget the weed wackers... you need a bush hog for some of those yards. :)
Good commercial for some round-up! It is a sad state of affairs when we see these homes not cared for or maintained.
Seems the neighbors should get together and do some clean up to protect their own property values.
WOW! That $60 was well spent! Amazing transformation! You should win a contest and get your $60 back for that before and after :)
What a sad "Field of broken dreams" For so many people struggling-the houses they have left behind speak volumes in their absence.
This is what it can look like here after some good rains like we've had. Then the 'dry heat' returns...
Bryant, can we say we need a little adjustment to the curb appeal on these beauties??
BB-
If I wasn't booked up, I'd start a side business in lawn care for foreclosure properties! Maybe I'd get paid eventually!?!?!
This is pretty scary looking yard. A gator could be hiding in there and get ya. Where is the for sale sign?!?
I posted a similar blog a few months ago after visiting my rental properties in Florida where half the neighborhood looked like your photos. How do people expect houses to sell and property values to level out if no one wants to move into a neighborhood that is half overgrown like that?
If I were the real estate agent, I think I would spend a couple of bucks and have someone visit my vacant listings and mow it down or do it myself.
