Squatters in Foreclosed St. George Homes

Squatters have been known to occupy foreclosed homes which can make us uneasy knowing the vacant houses in St. George aren’t really empty. Squatters see foreclosures as an opportunity for free rent until the home is sold to the next buyer.  Seeing the current foreclosure rates, they may be living there for a while. Luckily for us in St. George, foreclosure rates are lower here than other areas in the country. Even if they are few in numbers, having squatters living in homes raises crime rates for that neighborhood. If someone will live in a home illegally, chances are they may do other illegal activities also. If you are uneasy with the growing number of vacant homes in your neighborhood, it may be time to think of moving to an area with less foreclosures.
