Interesting how FEW auction properties are available in Asheville NC?

By
Real Estate Agent with All-Star Powerhouse

It's clear that the market is improving in terms of number of homes being sold; and at the same time the median price is decreasing slightly. Given this, I wonder why there are not MORE auction properties available, and why auction companies are not working with more local realtors - any thoughts?

 

Homes For Sale At Auction in the Asheville NC area

Not for the faint of heart, Auctions can be an exciting way to find property at deep discounts in the Asheville NC area.  Live real estate auctions can be an exciting - and usually competitive - way to purchase property, often at deep discounts. Sellers often turn to auctioning their property due to a high level of motivation, perhaps caused by a divorce and division of assets, or a death in the family, or just a general need to move on. Fast.

As the buyer, generally you are looking at a "reserve price" which means you know what bidding will start at.

  • Property is generally offered "as is" with no repairs being offered
  • Long negotiation periods are usually eliminated
  • Closing usually takes place within 30 days of the auction or sooner

Each auction is different. Be sure to check with your local professional before purchasing an auction property.

Real Estate agents are often involved representing the buyer or the seller when a property is auctioned. We can help guide you through the important questions such as:

  • Do I get a chance to inspect the property?
  • How does the process work?
  • Is the auction live or online?
  • How do I register?
  • Is there an advantage to buying real estate at auction?
  • Are there any back taxes or liens against the property?
  • Is financing available?
  • What does the term “reserve”  mean?
  • What is the minimum bid?
  • Do I have to make a down payment at the auction?
  • Is my deposit refundable if I change my mind after the sale and decide not to buy the property?
  • What happens once I have become the successful high bidder?
