Concierge Auctions Estates Sale 2010 Results Wrap-Up


We've covered a lot of Concierge Auctions homes as estate of the day properties. How did they fare? After ace real estate commenter "Spectacular Bid" let me know that the final price for Topridge, a property once listed for $9.8 million, was just $2.25 million, I was inspired to head to the Concierge Auctions website to see what I could find out about other homes we looked at. Not all of the final sale prices are listed but enough are to give a look at what real estate auctions mean for luxury home sales.
