During the time these homes were sold, there was concern that these landfills were associated with air pollution. The second method is to analyze the changes in sale/re-sale value, as discussed above. In order to provide a broader basis for analysis, two comparative sites have been chosen. Each has an active or very recently closed landfill. The areas near them are characterized by: Extensive suburban housing development since the landfill was established. b. Access to nearby highways.
