The OP has made a very legitimate comment. How in the world will the home owners of the homes immediately impacted by the recent sinkholes ever resell their homes? I would think that they would have to reveal that there has been major sinkhole repair to their property when selling the home, and with all the homes available, why wouldn't a potential buyer just look elsewhere? I guess the real question that should be asked is " if I have had a sinkhole on my property repaired, is my property in more danger, less danger, or the same danger as a property that has never had a sinkhole." Now, everyone will voice an opinion on this, but it would be nice to hear from a geologist.
