Scott08 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 You may laugh, but I think there might be some substance to it. Some friends of mine had their 80's Feagan/Shepherd area townhome on the market for over a month before Ike with only a couple of showings and no real interest. The place never lost power at all during the storm and the vacant house became kind of a potluck meeting spot for a group of us during the following week(s). After the dust cleared, they had a spate of more showings and ended up selling after a bidding war! Coincidental, maybe, but I think it may have had some influence.

editor Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Power reliability is a feature that cities use to attract new industries. I guess this is just trickling down to the residential level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
