House is estate in posession of accountant?

[Lorin K.]

A empty house that has been vacant for over a year. From the outside, it is in excellent shape. I was just driving down the same street and inquired from a woman on the house and she provided me with a accountants name. If this was a estate shouldn't this house be in control of a attorney? The house is in Tacoma Washington one of the hottest real-estate markets in the United States.

 Tacoma one of the hottest market? Where are you getting the info from? I'll be surprised.

 Probably referring to one of the reports by Trulia last year.  For 2016, these were the top 10 real estate markets to watch.

They looked at five metrics: strong job growth over the past year, low vacancy rates, high affordability, more inbound home searches than outbound, and a large share of millennials. He found the following markets to be poised for higher activity, and also good places to look to move:

1. Grand Rapids, MI-WY
2. Charleston, SC
3. Austin, TX
4. Baton Rouge, LA
5. San Antonio, TX
6. Colorado Springs, CO
7. Columbia, SC
8. Riverside–San Bernardino, CA
9. Las Vegas, NV
10. Tacoma, WA
