While our neighbors in Woodland, and West Sacramento have not been as fortunate, the Davis real estate market has yet to see many foreclosures. Last year, nearby areas saw REOs in the hundreds, but Davis had a whopping 13 REO’s and short sales combined in 2007. Why the Davis real estate market is different is the topic of another blog entry.
Today, I’m more interested in this curious new small business that, due to the large number of vacant, bank owned properties is ever in demand– Grass Painting.
Banks aren’t in the business of property management. The homes owned by them are usually managed by the Realtors who have them listed. And while I have been known to clean up a clients yard prior to listing, regular lawn maintenance is not within the scope of in this realtor’s job description.
For a fee of $200 to $700, Always Green Grass Painting Service in Sacramento will visit your home or business and put the green back into your turf. The company states that the paint used is non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
Or for you do-it-yourself types there is GrassBGreen, that sells all the supplies you need to give your lawn the makeover that will turn your neighbors green with envy. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
