1)  There are a couple foreclosed properties in our neighborhood. Is there anything we can do to prevent this number from growing? 
2) What are the key messages we need to get out in order to prevent more foreclosures?
3) How can I tell if a foreclosed home is vacant?
 

There are several tell-tale signs that can help you determine if a foreclosed home is vacant. They include:

  • Severely neglected lawns
  • Accumulated mail and fliers
  • Posted “For Sale” signs
  • Missing doors or windows
  • Posted notices of mortgage or tax foreclosure or seizure of property
  • Boarded windows or doors
  • Burned out or significantly deteriorated structure
  • Graffiti or other signs of vandalism
  • Un-shoveled driveway or sidewalk during winter months.

If one or more of these signs are apparent, the chances are the home is vacant.
