Over 200 Foreclosed Homes Auctioned in Chicago and Milwaukee April 16th & 17th
Valued from as Little as $5,500 to Nearly $400,000, Homes Offer Variety of Choices for all Types of Buyers
CHICAGO, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Home prices continue to dip to record lows, as inventories of foreclosures rise, making this an ideal time for buyers to grab discounted property. Auctions of bank-owned homes continue to lure throngs of buyers with their value and pricing. Hudson & Marshall, one of the country's largest real estate auction firms, will auction over 100 foreclosed homes in Chicago April 16th at 1:00 p.m. at the Chicago Burr Ridge Marriott Southwest. Another 60 plus homes will be auctioned April 17th at 1:00 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Park Place.
"For potential buyers contemplating diving head first into the real estate market, now is the time with mortgage rates hitting historic lows and inventories running at all time highs," said Dave Webb, principal, Hudson & Marshall. "Another advantage for buyers purchasing through auction is, banks are motivated to sell these homes at reduced prices because they've carried them on their books for three months to a year," added Webb.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) homes have never been more affordable. In fact, contracts on home purchases have increased by 20% since last year's low when the home buyer tax credit expired. NAR found foreclosures or short sales accounted for almost 40% of home sales in February 2011 compared to 37% in February 2010.
All properties auctioned by Hudson & Marshall come with an insurable title, are sold "as-is" and buyers should inspect properties before placing any bids. Buyers will be required to make a cash or certified check deposit of $2,500 for each property for which they are the winning bidder.
Homes may be viewed during the open house scheduled April 9th and April 10th from 1:00 p.m. -3:00 p.m. or by contacting listing agents to schedule appointments. Complete property details and additional information may be found at www.hudsonandmarshall.com or by calling 866-539-4172.
Prior to auction, buyers can purchase property online by visiting the website and clicking on the Bid-Now icon. Sellers typically respond to offers within 24 hours. This is a reserve auction, which means sellers have the right to accept, reject or counter any bid; however, in past auctions conducted by Hudson & Marshall, the majority of offers have been accepted.
