There is so much vacant land and empty houses for sale the place is a joke. If he claims his house is "worth" 900 grand tell him he is dreaming.
A lot of people got burnt when Gero got named a hotspot by that Terry Ryder bloke.
There was some good money to be made in Gero a few years ago before the R/E boom hit approx. 7 years ago, ever since then it has been bumping along at the top but now it has been slumping for at least 18 months.
