They sure spent a lot of money hiring people to hold signs up and down Greenville every weekend for almost a month. Curious to know if someone actually got one at the auction, and how much?? Are these auctions really giving good deals, or a lot of hype?? I’m most curious to know how the condo auction went for 5800 McCommas, which I think was in Sept??

It is difficult to compare since a wider group of home buyers and sellers expect and are adjusted to high prices - not just in homes but everything. This region's home prices have been elevated for decades and it is simply part of the culture and more so in the Back Bay area where these condos are located. It doesn't compare well with Texas or Dallas in my mind...having actually lived there. I lived in MA from 91 to 94 then moved to Dallas.

You promised your input on these Drexel units. What are your thoughts? How are the amenities? Are they worth it? HOA dues? The initial prices were unrealistic - whats your thoughts on equitable?
