Should You Sell Your Property at an Auction?
If you think about it, the COVID pandemic has had a major impact on the housing market. People stayed home, they made money but didn’t spend it… and now they have money to spend, and they want to move… There aren’t enough houses on the market to satisfy demand in many places, so prices are higher than before, and it’s not unusual for a home to sell for tens of thousands dollars more than what the sellers ask for– and that’s just with negotiated deals.
