Auction Property Financing in Arizona
The auction is the process of buying and selling the goods, services or property by bidding. The buyers compete for the property by bidding and the highest bidder takes the property. The open ascending price method is the most common method of auction. People look to buy an auction property because these properties are usually short sale at approximately 30% lesser than the current market rate. The price of the property is decided under the Bank auction rules or Federal Guidance. There are only a few bidders at the bank auction these are usually people with ready money looking to invest in real estate.
If you decide to bid for an auction note;
- The Reserve Price – This is the Minimum Bid Price that is the price at which the bidding begins. These prices are set by the bank or the auction house. These bodies take over the property to recoup the remaining balance of the loan.
- Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) – which is the good faith deposit made by the potential bidder to show that he is serious about the deal. The EMD is refunded to the unsuccessful bidders. The successful bidder is expected to pay at least 25% of the total amount if not the complete. The entire amount is expected to be deposited within 15 days of the auction.

Last but not the least do your homework about the area and the real estate market before going in for the auction property.
