Kathleen's comment below is a wild exaggeration to me; a market is made up of sellers and buyers for a reason. If someone sells they are doing so with plans to move elsewhere. If they sell out of distress then unforunately they will have to find housing more economically suitable to their needs wherever they can; which would have been the case regardless of someone wanting to buy the housing they could no longer afford. This area will be forgotten/passed over and die out if it continues with an attitude of domestic xenophobia instead of embracing and welcoming whoever wants to build a community with them. You can lock life away, but it dies. Take a drive through some less favorable communities and be thankful yours is one that others see the beauty in. Otherwise they'll move to the next town and yours loses any chance of long term viability. As much as we don't always love it, life in the world we've built is growth or death.

Properties that are being bought and new homes being built in high density construction, such as in Rosenwald. The people selling the homes being demolished have nowhere to go. This is decimating a traditional community here in Transylvania County.
