[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] Offer on a house that is scheduled for auction Posted by LilyBlossom on January 28, 2010 at 11:15 PM Hello everyone, I'm located in California. I have a cash offer in on a house that is listed as a short sale, but I discovered is scheduled for auction in a few weeks. I would try to buy it at auction if it comes to that, but the "Notice of Sale Amount" is significantly higher than the MLS listed short sale price (and thus significantly higher than I offered for the potential short sale). The price was intentionally set low to generate interest, but either way, it is still about 2/3 of what is actually owed on the house. Will the opening bid at auction be the "Notice of Sale Amount"? What happens if there are no bidders at that amount? Do I have a chance of getting the house at auction for what I originally offered (or less), or is that impossible given the "Notice of Sale Amount" is the amount owed? Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this!
