Default need to be educated, home sales

while looking on realtor.com I was looking at "recently sold" and found many homes in the villages having sold for 20-30,000 I am missing something here these are homes built not an empty site waiting , a couple oif them show as being sold in 2011 for 200+ then sold again in 2012 approx 1 year later for 20-30,000 can someone educate me on where to locate these types of homes are they foreclosures ? I just find it hard to believe homes are selling in TV for that amount of money when I see mobile homes in TV selling for 100+, someone please educate me

You are missing something. 30 Year old single wide trailers sell for far more than that.

I agree thats why I threw it out there on here, I am baffled and still trying to figure it out I went back to the website and reviewed it again thinking I misinterpreted something

I looked at the site and I found some of the places that you mentioned and they are in Lady Lake, not the Villages. Generally, they were mobile homes in some of the older parks.

I'm only guessing, but perhaps this was an inside-the-family deal?

This house near me was listed wrong. Stated that it sold for 49,000, in should have said 149,000.00 typo. Made us wonder too since that would bring the value of our house down and we just bought 2 years ago.

Sumter County shows the sales price for the above address as:
2012 236K
2011 210K
2006 261K at its peak.
Not sure what the OP is looking at.

Could it have been sold to their trust?

Yes, I see the same thing. Doesn't show anything about a trust, usually it does.

keith I was looking at recently sold on realtor.com and thats where the 23,600 price was shown , I am guessing a cpl zeroes were left off for one reason or another or that perhaps they were foreclosures I knew it was too good to be true and just needed to confirm it 236,000 seems much more appropriate... Graciegirl that is certainly a possibility to which that angle never entered my mind
