Jayne,
I love the way you get just the right tone of voice and the jargon of a real estate agency.
I like the subtly ominous ending of the first piece, but the second is also good in terms of depicting 'Planet Earth' as damaged property and the eco-poetry feel to it.
The first is a bit more scientific and speculative (I like that aspect), while the second is more literal, unvarnished fact, with authentic agent-speak.
I think the way you handle the controlling metaphor of Earth as real property is quite clever.
