located in an area with urban planning?

"Thinking of selling your house? About one-third of Southern California homes sold in February had been foreclosed since January 2007, according to DataQuick. ... If there are few or no foreclosures in your neighborhood, advertise that. People don't want to buy into an area that is on the downward path. The fears of the suburbs becoming the next slums are very real. Located in an area with urban planning? Use that to your advantage."
