“There are very few homes in Pine Lawn that are owned by single-family homeowners," says Lisa Anderson a Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, who has more than 20 years of experience selling homes in St. Louis. "It’s difficult to find traditional buyers right now because property values are decreasing. First-time homebuyers aren’t willing to take the risk that the value of their property won’t increase down the road.” Many properties are in poor condition. Renters can often find homes in Pine Lawn simply because qualified homebuyers are not purchasing there currently.
