<prompt> Human: About 20 years ago, my parents bought some wooded property right outside of our town. Since then they have built a house and poured their sweat, soul, and money into it to make it a little haven. The property and house were recently valued at about 400k. The neighboring properties have just been sold to the county as the future sight of a new high school with sports facilities. The new school will be a stones throw away from the house, which will bring unwanted traffic, litter, trespassers, etc. to our property. This has likely decreased the value by about 100k. Are there any actions we can take to regain any lost property value or are we SOL?If this is the wrong place to post please lead me to the correct sub!  <response>: lol what? schools usually increase property values.. did you get an appraisers opinion? how did you determine that your property got devalued?anyway, rRealEstate might be of better help
