Guess What? Nothing Happened At Lake Martin Auctions - 07/29/08 02:37 PM
Recently two auctions were held at waterfront property on Lake Martin.  A quick check with each of the auction companies revealed that neither homes sold for the reserved prices.  Both remain unsold at post time.

Here's the lowdown:
1. 284 Lakeview Drive - The "Waterfall House" at Willow Point - This auction was held on July 20, 2008.  I wrote this post before the auction to spread the word.  I haven't talked to anyone that attended, but I spoke to a representative at Albert Burney Auction Company.
