3. How do foreclosures impact neighborhoods and housing markets? Property owners facing foreclosure may have less incentive to maintain or upgrade their property (Schuetz et al, 2008); After the completion of the foreclosure process, properties may sit vacant and have the propensity to attract vandalism and crime signaling that the neighborhood is in a state of decline (Schuetz et al, 2008); High rates of foreclosures may increase the number of properties on the market at a given time ( Schuetz et al, 2008); Properties may sell at a discount, both at auctions or pre-foreclosure sales, affecting the price of comparables used to estimate neighboring property values (Lin et al, 2009).
