Who'd have thought ten years ago...or maybe even five...that you could buy a new house online?

It's about to happen here in Oklahoma City now that Jeff Click Homes has teamed up with NewsOK.com and this year's Bid & Buy '08 Online Auction. Just today, the team at NewsOK launched our listing for 16208 Sonoma Lake Blvd, a decked out version of our Luke Plan, built in South Edmond/NW Oklahoma City's Sonoma Lake.

Bidding won't begin until Friday, March 7th, but the listing is available for viewing now, and you can pre-register with the Bid & Buy site for a chance at winning $500 worth of "Bid Bucks" to spend on auction items, including our home.

While waiting for the bidding to heat up, you're welcome to schedule an in-person viewing of the home now, or drop by this weekend while it's open from 12-6 both Saturday & Sunday.

So why buy it through the Bid & Buy auction?
You could save thousands of dollars off of the previous sales price of $214,900!

Why would we drop the price?
We didn't necessarily. Only the outcome of the auction will determine that.

Why are you doing this?
One of Jeff Click Homes' core values is innovation. NewsOK's Bid & Buy auction is an innovative opportunity for both the consumer and for us on a promotional level.

innovation - To be among the leaders in defining trends, styles, technology, and latest best-practices.

Why this house?
We actually pondered a couple different homes, but when it came down to it, this one won out because it was complete, decoratively staged, and among our more broadly-targeted design palettes that would appeal to a wider audience than some of our more "daring" styles.

What does this change?
Nothing, really, other than the likely final sales price. The purchase still comes with our full 1-Year Customer Service Warranty, along with all of the amenities listed. You still get the same great level of personal service from Jeff Click Homes, and will work directly with us through closing just like any other home.

We only ask that you only place a bid if you're a serious, qualified buyer. If you need help making sure you're qualified, we can help. We also will exclude this transaction from any Realtor® commissions. That's not to say you can't be represented by a Realtor® in the transaction, but due to the deep discount we've provided on this house for this auction, we aren't able to pay a commission.

So if you've had an itch, maybe come Friday, March 7th, you should go scratch it.
