Before we purchased a new home in the Village of Collier we were intrigued by a resale in an older Village that had been a sinkhole home. The sell price was approx $50,000.00 less than a comparable home. We did get a company willing to insure but at 3 times the going rate per year. We figured over 20 years the added costs we would have paid the Insurance Company would have negated the $50,000.00 we thought we saved. So why would we buy to break even coupled with the attached stigma?
