Now it's time to find out why everyone's moving out

Walmart going in down the block? Street being widened? Schools
being consolidated with another town?

Real estate agents of the more shady variety won't disclose such
things because "they haven't been approved, only proposed."

It's perhaps a good idea to stop by "city hall" and see what you
can find out about proposed changes. Public librarians can be
helpful too. And of course a good buyer's agent would tell you
those things right up front.

I enjoyed your description of the houses. Remember, all that stuff
can be fixed for a price. If the house price is low enough, you
can get a terrific deal if you don't mind putting up with some
construction while you are living there.
