It was a record breaking auction for the Berrien County Treasurer’s office as foreclosed properties were sold off at the DANK in Benton Harbor on Tuesday. Treasurer Brett Witkowski says that the line for the land auction went out the door, and in the end, 75 properties were sold, a new record. The sales generated 893 thousand dollars in revenue.

Witkowksi says that every property up for auction that had a building on it in Benton Harbor sold on Tuesday, something which never happens. He thinks the reason the auction went the way it did is that people are starting to accumulate more money in their pockets, and realizing the value of owning real estate.
