What Happened Next Door?

A while back, I posted about the house next door going on the market. It sat on the market for quite a while with a couple of price drops and then the sign just went down. No "Sold" sign or anything, so I figured they gave up on selling it and would try again in a few months (been there, have the scars).

So, this week, when a UHaul showed up in their driveway, I was surprised. Having lived near more than one of these kinds of houses before, my first thought was that someone was moving in. Nope. Stuff was going in to the truck.

OK, maybe they're just putting some stuff in storage to actually make a legitimate attempt to sell the house. Nope again.

Next thing we know, the picture you see in this post is what the house next door looks like. Everything is either gone or in that dumpster. All of the lawn mowers on the side of the house, all of the vehicles, all of the garbage, everything.

I'm thrilled, even if I don't know exactly what happened. I don't know if they were forclosed on or if an invester bought it as a rehab or what, but they are gone. I can't wait to see what happens to it next. It'd be great if someone puts some effort into that house.
