[quote=Anonymous]We are interested in a house with a beautiful professionally landscaped backyard. The yard slopes upward and is landscaped with a series of terraces with dry stack stone walls and lots of pretty plantings. There is a large deck perfect for entertaining. The house is in great condition inside and out. However, it's been sitting for 271 days. Our agent says it's because the yard does not have space for a swingset or for kicking a soccer ball around. This is in the 'burbs (Oakton) so I guess people expect that sort of thing. We don't care because our kids are busy teenagers and hardly ever home. But is the lack of a usable grassy yard really such a big defect that an otherwise great house would sit for 271 days, on par with houses that back to the Beltway, houses covered in EIFS, etc? We like the house but we are also concerned about investment value. Would you buy this house?[/quote]
