I could be wrong, however, knowing the website listed shows many of these lots selling for the prices of many decent looking foreclosed homes in the working class neighborhoods, I don’t think many of these lots will sell. Why would anyone want to pay a similar price for these only a lot, when they could get a similar lot AND a decent home for around the same price?

I couldn’t find the listing of the pieces, just the way to report a vacant property.
