		<description>Wow.  I think more research on this is in order.  A trend or a fad?  A trend, certainly.  2009 showed up ticks in number of real estate auctions, and number of sales by auction.

Sellers are NOT always required to pay anything up-front.  Many auctioneers charge NO marketing fee up-front, or very small amounts, and in many cases, those fees are credited at closing.

A $5,000 to $15,000 advertising budget would necessitate a $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 property, or this would nearly constitute unethical practice.  Nobody would rightly spend $10,000 in advertising to sell a $200,000 home.

The weather?  Not a factor -- at all.  The reason the home you mentioned didn&#039;t sell after all that marketing was likely it had an unrealistic reserve or subject to confirmation format, which buyers detest.  If it was marketed &quot;absolute&quot; and sold &quot;absolute&quot; there would have been people there in 10&#039; of snow.

Yes, the real estate market remains supply heavy, which means price adjustments are necessary.  However, auctions continue to be the one way to find true market price, regardless of the market, or weather.</description>

		<description>I wholeheartedly agree with your comment about color in the landscape. Regardless of whether a house is on the market or not, even in the winter months there are all sorts of annuals (pansies, violas and snapdragons prominently among them) and shrubs that can liven up a garden view.</description>
