I stayed long enough to observe the disposition of 49 of the more than 100 properties auctioned off which sold for about 45% off the “previously valued to” price.

It was interesting to note that there were no homes auctioned off in the area I would have been willing to place a bid; basically north Tampa, Lutz and Land O’ Lakes. This is a highly populated area with lots of homes for sale.

This indicated to me that there will be a lot more of these auctions in the future and prices haven’t come close to hitting bottom.

Housing Market Tracker - Homebuilders Criticized for Benefitting From Foreclosure Bill http://seekingalpha.com/article/71380-housing-market-tracker-homebuilders-criticized-for-benefitting-from-foreclosure-bill?source=feed#comment-146300 146300 REDC). I stayed long enough to observe the disposition of 49 of the more than 100 properties auctioned off. The average sales price was $129,000. The average "previously valued to" number was $234,000. This was a 45% haircut.

I didn't inspect any of the properties, but afterwards drove by several higher priced condos in Clearwater Beach that had been auctioned off. They were very nicely situated with water views and the building was only 2 years old. If you drive up and down Gulf Blvd. you'll find numerous condos still being constructed.

It looks like we've only seen the beginnings of the price declines yet to come.
