[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I looked at a house with a POD right out front I would wonder if the current owners are hoarders that had to quickly move all the stuff out to get it presentable.   Then I'd wonder if there was any of the typical deferred maintenance/other issues that come up in hoarder homes.   Most likely I wouldn't even bother getting out of the car.[/quote]
And while you were doing all that someone else would buy the house.[/quote]

Then they have more expertise, funds, and time to spend in completely gutting, renovating, and flipping hoarder homes than I do.   That's great, but a good percentage of home buyers are looking to move into a home shortly after purchase, not spend 6+ months fixing issues to make it habitable.  [/quote]
You are nuts. A POD in front of a house doesn’t mean the owners are hoarders.
A house that needs significant fixing is easily recognizable with a simple visual inspection outside and inside. A POD in front of the house is not a tell sign.

Um, when I see a POD in front of a house, I assume it’s disgusting inside. PODs that I’ve noticed while driving around in Northern Va are usually there long-term. If I saw a listing for a house w a POD out front in an unfamiliar neighborhood, I’d have no way of knowing if that was temporary. I’d err on the conservative and hard pass, because let’s face it, if they can’t even get their crap off the property to sell it, there are probably other issues.[/quote]
