We all know trees on a property can up its value, but how much exactly does it go up is what we want to know. Well, some smart people over in Oregon figured out a way to find the answer by matching the asking prices from Craigslist with the pictures from Google Earth that showed how many trees were at each address. They then did some fancy math and figured out that trees directly on a property raised the price by five dollars per month, while trees that lined the edge of the property raised rents by twenty-one dollars per month. Anyone have some time on their hands and want to try that here? [Good]
