The highest bid doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve won…

Fuck these lenders, why are they wasting everyone’s time at auctions? If they don’t want to sell the property at what the market is willing to pay then what is the point?

Actually, today the gov’t owns banks and corporations (GM, etc).

Would you sell an asset for 10 cents on a dollar? Then why should a bank?
I auction this stuff for a living; owners (individuals, banks, credit unions, who ever) want a fair market value.
And that’s wrong?

Not so. I auction real estate for a living. Auction buyers are WAY more informed than contract buyers (I’m a Realtor too). Just sold a home for a couple that needed a fast sale, got them $27k more than they thought, buyer happy, seller happy and home appraised just fine.

Auctions are just a way to get money out of a worthless house. If the houses we worth more money you can bet they would have sold them on the regular market. No one puts homes on auction sale just to be nice to buyers. If you price a house right (even in today’s market) you can sell it within days on the regular market.

SOLD FOR 100,000 oh wait… 4,000,000 thank you?

What are the outcomes of those lawsuits? Are people just told to read the fine print?
