Over 100 Foreclosed Homes Auctioned in Arizona and Nevada

Hudson & Marshall Will Auction Bank-Owned Homes January 20th -23rd

PHOENIX, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In states like Arizona and Nevada where the real estate market is swimming in foreclosures, banks are aggressively discounting these properties at auction to move them off their books. As a result, distressed properties are becoming the most sought after homes for buyers. America's leading foreclosure auction firm, Hudson & Marshall will auction about 115 homes in Arizona and another 12 in Nevada in various cities January 20th -23rd.

Valued from $35,000 to $525,000, all the homes come with an insurable title, no back taxes or liens. Buyers will be required to make a cash or certified check deposit of $5,000 for each property which they are the winning bidder.

"In today's economic environment, consumers want to get the most out of their dollars and are looking for savings on everything, especially homes. Buyers want to purchase bank-owned homes because they usually can be bought at auction for a 15%-20% discount off the last list price," said Dave Webb.

According to Realtytrac, foreclosures surged 21% in 2009 topping 3.9 million filings up from 2.8 filings in 2008. Nevada posted the highest foreclosure rate in the nation in 2009 with 10% of homes receiving a filing and Arizona came in second with 6% of all homes receiving a filing.

All homes being auctioned by Hudson & Marshall are sold "as-is" and buyers should inspect properties before placing any bids. Properties can be viewed during the open house January 16th and 17th from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm or by contacting listing agents to schedule an appointment.
