UC Asset (OTCQX: UCASU) announces that it will put residential properties worth of approximately $4 million back on the market in the Spring of 2020, in an attempt to comply with the seasonal trend of the real estate market.
“One element of our investment strategy is seasonal arbitrage,” says Greg Bankston, managing partner of UC Asset’s GP.
“While deals can be found throughout the year, we often acquire properties in the winter season when the market tends to slow down. We then spend 12 to 18 months completing the cycle of redevelopment before putting those properties back on the market the following spring or summer, when the market is more active,” Bankston explains.
Even without redevelopment, Bankston estimates the price difference between winter season and spring/summer season can often be as high as 5-10 percent in certain areas, for certain properties.
“Among the planned $4 million properties to sell, we expect that $2 million will be put on market by the end of this week with the intent of staying ahead of the market curve. The remaining $2 million will be listed on the market in the coming weeks,” Bankston shares.
Total cost of acquiring these properties were approximately $1.7 million. The properties are acquired, owned and developed by UC Asset’s wholly owned subsidiary, Atlanta Landsight LLC, which operates in Atlanta, GA.
