[quote=Anonymous][quote]We have family members who live in a relatively desirable area, part of which is that there are many old, very tall and beautiful trees in the neighborhood. With the crazy storms that seem to have become the norm over the last decade or so, seemingly healthy trees falling onto houses has become a standard occurrence - they and five other houses within a 2-block radius have all sustained major (i.e. roof collapse, rebuilding whole parts of a house) damage in recent years. I'm curious how this phenomenon is playing into people's house buying decisions these days.[/quote]

Lots of things play into buying decisions. It's cheaper to take out a tree than to remodel an old kitchen. A lot cheaper. We just saw a house where lots of remodeling was done and done well. All new bathrooms and kitchen done with high end appointments. Would a couple of trees deter me? Heck no. It's a lot easier to live through a tree removal than through a kitchen renovation. Just saying.
