Strange sale prices

[Steven Saccio]

Hello,

I hope this is in a good section, Its my first true post other than my introduction earlier today.

I have rentals in the central florida area and as such I scour Zillow and Realtor.com on a regular bases just to get an idea on pricing, sales and other rentals.

Mine are in a complex called Columbia Arms. When they converted from Apartments to Condos they sold from between $150,000 to $180,000. When the market crashed they plummeted to as low as $20,000-55,000. A bitter pill to swallow but they are on the rise now and have come up as much as $30k

Recently though there seems to be a rash of sales that are much higher then what current value would point to. I figure a 2/2 should be about $65,000 from the estimates on the site and what at least two people are currently listing their for sale properties at. But the link below shows that 5 condos have sold for $100,000-150,000. two or three of them looked to be bought by the same group, but I can't understand why all of these would sell for so much more then they are worth? I thought it was just an error but theres such a spread from different sites and dates that theres got to be more to it. Can any one shed some light on it? The first link is to zillow which shows the 5 in questions and then the address that follows is for a 1/1 condo that sold for $154,000, which is just mind boggling in this economy.

Thanks for any insight!
