Maybe he/she is not a bidder but the owner trying to get it up to the reserve. Although I hope he/she is a bidder and gets it for his/her price.

no i am not the owner, they, so I have told by the auction company, went to assisted care, i am just a bidder. I just reciently sold my villages home, and miss this place a little, want to own rather than keep renting.

I am not going to pay more than I can afford, and honestly, I feel just a tad bad for the sellers, gaining only $235 from me anyway, but like I said, I'm in it for $235 ($270) and if its less, its mine, if its not, than I will wait for the next great deal to come along and just keep renting. Hubby feels its going to sell for much higher, but you just never know.

I just wanted advise on auctions. as a retired realtor I have never dealt with this unless it was a forclosure.

I see that the bid is now up to $238.5k. Hope folks understand this.

I think somebody posted that reply already

For a retired Realtor you don't know how to search very well. Here is a highly upgraded Designer with 2.5 car garage and zero bond for $269,000

17072 SE 93RD Yondel Circle, The Villages, FL 32162

You got to do more research, this home is 14 years old and very small at 1550 sq. ft, the retired realtor is bidding on a 2,020 sq. ft. home built 3 years ago, no comparison.

true......age matters, the auction home was sold 11/15 which actually makes it less than 3 years old

Marion County is too far away from what More than likely will soon be the center of TV. My opinion anyway....

This is a 2 bedroom with a den Third room does not have a closet so it is not a bedroom

Better check whether there was any sink hole activity in the area. About 2 years ago sink hole repair was occurring along Hillsborough Rd. In Village of Dunedin, as I recall.
