A number of foreclosure bank owned home auctions has been held in various areas of metro Atlanta, Georgia in the past weekends, with home buyers eagerly snatching foreclosed properties from the market and taking advantage of the bargain prices of residences in the area.
Atlanta bank owned homes are set to end 2010 as another record year, housing industry observers have reported. Thousands of foreclosed dwellings are being offered at auctions at very low prices that buyers are reportedly finding it hard to stay away from these events. One example of such an auction was recently held at the Marriott in Marietta where hundreds of foreclosure properties were auctioned off.
According to auction officials, some of these foreclosed Georgia bank owned homes were sold for as short a time as two minutes, with home buyers trying to get the better of each other in the rapid-fire auction events. Buyers have reported that the auctions are usually conducted quickly and every bidder should be aware of what he or she is doing or face the risk of getting lost in the procedure.
The numerous bank owned home auctions being held in the area are reportedly a last ditch effort by banks and sellers to unload foreclosed houses in areas with huge distressed property supplies. One example of such area is Mulberry Row where a home originally priced at $71,000 was sold off at auction for only $45,000.
According to buyers of bank owned foreclosure homes, they are not surprise that houses are being sold at very affordable prices. They revealed that there are huge supplies of foreclosed dwellings in metro Atlanta that buyers are never short of choices; they just needed to know what exactly they are looking for and they are almost always assured that they will get a good bargain.
However, some market analysts have warned buyers not to get too carried away by the vast supplies of cheap residential properties. According to them, most of the houses sold at bank owned home auctions are under "as is" conditions and it is advisable for bidders and buyers to first conduct a thorough research before deciding on bidding for a particular property.
