Auction Brings $220000 To FmHA

Twenty eight homes in southeast Kansas reclaimed by the Farmers Home Administration sold at a weekend auction for 220000. Most houses were in poor condition and sold from 1500 to 15000. Auctioneer Rex Newcom said it was a tough market but converted homes to cash. Buyers likely use parcels in Parsons Independence Coffeyville Fredonia and smaller towns as rentals or investments. Byran Fischer of Topeka praised the sale as yielding needed funds and said more auctions may follow this year.
