Are Real Estate Auctions Your Best Bet?

Well, It's been several months now since we put our Ocean City condo on the market, and no deal yet. The problem is, so have everybody else. Unfortunately, two other condos on my building were put up at the same time. One was auctioned and the other is still available. We have both taken a price reduction to try to sell. It seems like the Auctions are selling quicker, which is unfortunate because, it is my opinion that people are not necessarily getting a better deal. For example, I happen to know that they were willing to take only $250,000.00. It went for more than that.

We are set on our price no matter how long we have to wait. After all, compare to the competition, we are more likely to sell than those builders who thought the market was right, to be able to sell Luxurious Condos in Ocean City, and went ahead and built . Things are expensive enough. I just can't see getting into anything that would cost more than $300,000.00. Just think of the extra expenses associated with it, such as maintenance, association fees, and not to mention high re-sale value that most people can't afford! They can't even auction them away.

I was contacted by auctioneers and I checked into it. The buyer pays all closing fees. And the seller the expenses; such as advertisement. I went with the Real Estate Agent. At least she will earn her money, and the buyers will be sure that they are getting what they want because the agent is always available to answer any questions or concerns before making any decisions.

Buying a condo in Ocean City made a lot of sense to us, since we knew that it was going to get even harder to vacation outside of the US, or even in another state. We were right, as it turns out, because, as we all know, Gas prices are and should keep us from traveling too far.
