    Properties at Auction

    Ok, so a house I would've killed for way back when came on the market today at 1.4 million. The pricing is "normal" for the area I'm looking at (one of the last to fall, but this house should be about 1 million at 2002 pricing). Anyway, it shows that this house went into foreclosure and...
