The auction a couple of months ago at The West End Condos was a great opportunity for buyers to pick up a bargain. These luxury one, two, and three bedrom units sold for around 55% of their asking price. For example, a three bedroom on the 6th floor with 2,525 square feet that was asking $948,000 went for $440,000. A two bedroom on the 4th floor with views of downtown that was listed at $645,000 went for $371,250. A one-bedroom on the 8th floor went for $253,000 at auction that had been priced $425,000.

Unfortunately, those deals seem to be gone. The sales agents representing The West End Condos said that only two of the buyers at the auction have backed out. The rest have closed or are in the process of closing. There were a few units that were not sold at auction – either because they were held back or the developer wouldn’t let them go at auction prices. There are still a handful of 2 and 3 bedrooms left, atlhough the developer is flatly turning down auction prices. Expect to pay 75% to 80% off the asking price, which still may be a good deal… Just not as good a deal as two months ago.

John Coleman Hayes successfully sold at least 40 condos in the past 60 hours, 32 of which were sold during Saturday’s live auction.

The condo auction, held under a semi-heated tent in the West End’s motor court, was well attended with an estimated 185 potential buyers in attendance. Jerrold Pedigo began the auction promptly at 11:00am by telling auction bidders that 3 condos had sold the prior day and would no longer be a part the day’s auction. The auctioneer did not inform the crowd of the sales prices, but did identify the condos as unit numbers 602, 502 and 503, all 2 bedroom condos with excellent downtown views.

Once the auction began in earnest, the bidding was surprising brisk with the first condo garnering more than a dozen bids and eventually selling for $226.30/ft, an auction high. As expected the next several condos began to sell for slightly lower prices, but the real shock came for me just 5 lots later when the auctioneer accepted a bid of $174.26/ft. Most in the audience seemed surprised that the developer and bank were willing to accept rates lower than $180/ft as well.

Auction prices recovered soon after only to fall to $159.74/ft for the 10th lot auctioned, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,997 square foot monster condo on the fifth floor. The original asking price for this particular condo was $590,000, but the auction only brought…
