OHU50K NOTES
A disturbing phenomenon has been occurring this week with these fixer uppers. OHU50K has found three homes that were taken off market or sold, only to be listed back on the market for significantly higher than originally priced. It’s not like any work was done on the homes. This one today was priced at $29,900 in December of 2019. Now the price has increased by $20,000 to $49,900. I do love the gingerbread, wrap-around porch, old iron fencing, multiple mantels, hardwood floors and the vintage kitchen with that amazing sink, but why a $20K price jump? From what I have been told, it is a case of COVID affecting supply and demand.
