I'm in a no flood zone, no earthquake, and materials are usual construction type, not gold leaf and marble et cetera.So yes, it depends. 

There is so much clover and broad-leaf weeds in the backyard now that you can't see the underlying lawn anymore.

If you read up on weed B gone it is most effective on broad leaf things but does nothing about the roots itself.

@Jeremy Blackburn That's cool and if the tea leaf readers are right it might go down even further by the time you evaluated all options.

And the leaf blower was just aggravating the weed seed situation, contributing to a lawn full of weeds.I ended up having to rip out half the turf, digging up all the bermuda, and replanting seed.Although I hate to have to do it, now I do my own yard maintenance.

Hello All,  As I'm leafing through the MLS listings I came across this in the disclosures section under "property information" “Any licensed agent purchasing a REO property from Seller as a “principal” will not receive the ‘selling portion’ of the sales commission". 

Who cares about causation or correlation or if it is based on tea leaf readings if you can get a leading indicator that works :-) However, here are a few random points of discussion from my little engineer brain that is very poor at picking and timing and so I default to buy and hold (stock and real estate).
