As a Realtor®, I can tell you it DOES work very much like that. Stigmatized
properties affect the property values around them. A conservative
neighborhood with a bright purple house can make that house and others
nearby unsellable. You lose a lot of potential buyers and make it that much
harder to sell and also puts it on the market that much longer. Nobody wants
the purple house and nobody wants to live near it (especially next door to
it). There have been lawsuits for specific performance where the offending
homeowners were ordered to re-paint to undo the damage done to others'
property values.
