I love the layout and location of this one condo complex (and the HOA fees can&#8217;t be beat).  In this market, I was thinking that people may be simply holding off on selling their places, waiting to see when the upturn begins. It is likely that other units in the condo complex may be considering selling, but are waiting for the right moment and may be afraid there are no buyers out there for them. <\/p>\n<p>Would it be completely insane, and creepy to make a little flyer and say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If you are considering selling your condo, please be in touch. We are a couple pre-approved for a mortgage and are seriously interested in purchasing in your complex this fall. We&#8217;ve lived in the neighborhood for years and are waiting for the right opportunity to join your community.
