    That is simply not true.

    Not true. Numerous black families have moved into our neighborhood over the past few years and house values have not changed.

    Excellent m'dear. That was a comment I heard said on TV. Glad it isn't true in your neighborhood E. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday to thee and thine. Of course it may not be true in YOUR neighborhood but could well be true in many other neighborhoods! True? :)

    You are correct. My sister's house is worth about $10,000. Her husband is black and they live in 'da hood'.

    A home's value is based on the recent sale price of comparable homes in the same neighborhood.   No the color of the occupants skin.

    the homes in her neighborhood are comparable to hers and 95% of the occupants are black. Drugs and violence are rampant. There was even a murder in front of her house.

    Hence the lower value. People are not willing to pay $100,000 to  live there. This post was edited by my2cents at August 31, 2020 10:12 AM MDT

    How a home's value is based on who owns it I shall never ever understand. A house is a house. It is neither enhanced nor detracted from by the owner except by how the owner handles it. A neat lawn. Painting it when needed. How the owner cares for the house matters. It is the care or lack thereof that should be the only measure of the owner. Same as how you "treat" your car. If it's loaded with junk all the time and never washed and looks like a slob owns it well then a slob owns it. I dunno E. I always knew there were extremely weird people in the world. What I didn't know is that there were so many and most of them lived in my country. That is a shock! Thank you for your reply. Is your brother-in-law a good guy? Does he love your sister and is she happy? I hope so but that's the only thing that should matter isn't it? SIGH. :(
