I have done extensive reporting on the Antelope Valley, focusing on the housing market. City officials and developers agree the low point of the housing bust was last summer. Now, buyers are expressing a little more interest in homes, though banks are now hesitant to lend.
I photographed hundreds of homes for this piece, and I was on the lookout for foreclosed homes that were in particularly bad shape. They weren’t hard to find.
Residential housing has grown tremendously in the Antelope Valley; during the boom years (2004-2008) between 2,500 and 3,000 homes were built each year.
