    Lot value. A fire would probably increase the value by making the demo easier.

    Man the housing market has gone to shit. We paid $186,000 for our current house in 2017, it’s a 2 story in the suburbs. Zillow now says it’s worth $350K and this is what you get for $180K…

      In 2017 this house was assessed at $81,000. In 2022, it was assessed at $245,000. That price jump is so completely incomprehensible to me.

        This dumpster fire of a home should have never listed for more than $25K ever. Not only is it in Idaho, it literally looks like two houses glued together.

    There is actually a Hoarder house flippers TV show on some streaming service. It’s pretty interesting if anyone is curious to see a house like this turned around. One place even had severe mold and they had it professional cleaned down to the studs.

    I am legit curious to see what stage on hoard this was and the state of the inside of the house, any water damage, etc.

      I do really hate house flippers though because they outbid people looking for an affordable house and make the original house much more expensive

        Yeah, I definitely agree. The hoarder house part of that show is the main thing that made it interesting, even if most of the flippers were annoying. Seeing the before and after state of a house after a long-term hoarder lived there was amazing.

    Jesus I know this neighborhood. And I’m pretty sure I know this house. Someone will buy to scrape

    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’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.
