Curbside Home Auctions

Josh said...: You never get the back story on these "auctions." Why would anyone bid in an auction when the seller can decline the bid? That's what a reserve is for!

Sorry, until the banks treat buyers as equal partners in the deal, I'll have no part in these auctions.; Friday, March 28, 2008 7:00:00 AM
Jacob said...: yea, and you still get to hand over a deposit and pay a fee, like 5% on top of the bid. And then the bank just declines anyway.

Plus 50% investors, fine, let them set the comps and Ill look when they are all either broke or have bought as many homes as they can.; Friday, March 28, 2008 8:36:00 AM

Have I not said as much lately? We still have the same problem as before! This market was driven by rampant speculation, and still the buyers out there right now are nothing but speculators!
