I don't think any of these units sold for $150K, ray. There were a couple of recent short sales at the $150K mark, but these started at $179K. I know of a 2bed/2ba with bunks (plan B) which closed for $299K this week. The cash sales are making way for higher appraisals and conventional loans in Redfish Village.

Patten boasted of selling 48 of their 53 units, but I think what they meant to say is that they had "contracts," not sales. My understanding is that some of those would be buyers backed out of the contracts. Not sure why, but it could be that they were not cash buyers and needed other cash buyers to close in order for appraised values to increase enough to be able to get the loans.

Redfish Village will be a great place to own or rent one day. This boost of new owners will be the fuel it needs to get the commercial units filled and active with people.

The sense I got was that many of the Redfish buyers were people who were planning on using the units themselves, and renting them short term when they were not.

So, does that mean there aren't any units still on the market in the $150 -$179 range? I was considering a trip down to check them out, but if they're back up to $299 I think I'll pass ...
