On June 16th, the United States Marshals Service concluded an auction for a 12.2 acre commercial property in Beavercreek, Ohio, a community southeast of Dayton.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, Bid4Assets noticed a significant change among non-U.S. residents who are looking to invest in real estate.  Bid4Assets tightly monitors the characteristics and behavior of the people who visit their site and those who bid on auctions.

“Prior to September 2009, in a typical month, we would see perhaps 5% or 6% of our total site visitors from residents in other countries. In September we observed a significant shift and by October and November foreign residents accounted for 11%-12% of our visitors. We think the word is out that good real estate deals abound in the U.S. “said Christina Osberg, Bid4Assets Chief Operating Officer.

Osberg also said “In particular we are seeing a lot of bidding activity around properties listed in Florida. The last day of March, for example, we had one property in Florida bought by a bidder from Newfoundland and the second place bidder for the same auction came from Brussels. The high bidder on another Florida auction that day resides in India.”

“It could be that this surge of international activity is an indication that there is a growing belief that the U.S. real estate market is ready to heat up again”.

The online auctions will be open for bidding May 8 and close Tuesday, May 11. The auctions are available for preview online http://www.bid4assets.com/Calaveras.

Starting bid prices begin as low as $1,950 for the 14 properties. There is a $2,500 deposit requirement to be eligible to bid plus a $15 processing fee.

Bid4Assets has announced today that RECA Properties (username recaprop) of Columbia, South Carolina, has listed 39 properties on Bid4Assets’ auction site.

Thirty three of these properties are single family homes and the remainder land. The properties are located in Midwestern cities such as Kansas City, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Cleveland. The properties are all no reserve auctions with bids starting as low as a dollar, up to $1,000.

Jesse Loomis, Vice President of Business Development for Bid4Assets said,
“This is Bid4Assets’ first group of properties from RECA.  The properties have been significantly discounted with land starting at $1 and homes from $1,000.  We feel these present outstanding values for investors.  Interested bidders should do their due diligence and get in their bids because it’s unlikely these properties will ever be available at these prices again.”

The auctions end Wednesday February 17th.

Registration on Bid4Assets is free.

Bid4Assets is announcing that they are moving offices. The move will take place beginning 5pm Thursday February 11th.

There will be a slight disruption in bidder and seller support services during the move. Bidders and sellers should plan ahead.

The specifics are as follows. Customer Service will close at 5pm EST and representatives will not be reachable by phone or email Thursday night after closing and all day Friday February 12th.  The move will continue through Monday February 15th. February 15th is a holiday and, as is customary, company employees will not be in the office for President’s Day. Customer Service will open at 9am Tuesday morning February 16th with business as usual.

Sellers should be aware that Bid4Assets’s Account Managers will not be available from Thursday evening at 5pm until Tuesday morning February 16th at 9am. All Sellers should plan accordingly.

Over the last quarter of 2009 and the first weeks of 2010, record numbers of homes and land located in and around Lehigh Acres, Florida were posted for auction on Bid4Assets’ site. The Lehigh Acres area, which is near Fort Meyers on Florida’s South West Coast, has thousands of new homes that are unoccupied. Many of these are duplexes and are perfect for renting.

Jennifer Valverde, Bid4Assets’ marketing manager watches bidding activity daily on the Bid4Assets site and says,.“We have seen remarkable deals in the Lehigh Acres area. Homes that were constructed 2 years ago, never lived in, and built to be priced at over $300,000, have been sold on our site for around $100,000 or less! Desirable land has been sold for a fraction of what it might have sold for two or three years ago.”

As in every challenging period in the real estate business, investors are finding deals in abundance in areas like Southwestern, Florida.

We want you to know that we have changed our systems to accommodate international bidders.  Now international bidders only have to be registered and they can bid.

Please be aware that recently we began a policy of collecting a valid credit card number just before a bid is placed.  The card will never be charged unless you are the winning bidder and you don’t perform.

Bidders looking at auctions on Bid4Assets.com will now find enhanced information to help make real estate purchase decisions. 

We are announcing the addition of extensive maps and local information to our auctions.
Bidders will now see “tabs” on the Google map displayed in every real estate auction. These tabs link to different databases about the area near the property in the auction.

“Bird’s Eye View” and “Street View” give actual images of the neighborhood. In some cases, photographs may not yet be available for a location.

“Nearby view” lists important retail establishments and places of interest.

“Zillow info” links directly into the Zillow database and gives essential information about the property.

“School info” gives contact and location information for local schools.

Changes for Buyers:

Beginning Wednesday, September 16th at 12:01am, we will be making a slight change to the way bidding happens and we will be modifying our "Non-Performing Bidder" policy.

* Credit card or debit card: Starting Wednesday, September 16th at 12:01am, when you prepare to place a bid on an auction not requiring a deposit, even if you have bid on that auction prior to September 16th, you will be asked to provide us with a credit card or debit card number that we will keep on file.

To ensure a valid card, funds will be placed on "hold" for EACH auction on which you bid. Think of this "hold" as similar to a refundable deposit. The hold amount will be equal to the "Penalty for Non-Performance". Your card will not be charged unless you win an auction and do not perform.

The "hold" on your card will be in place typically for 5-7 business days from the time the bid is placed, depending on your credit or debit card company's "hold" policy (It could be shorter or longer). Bidders will only be charged when they win an auction and do not perform.

Also, be aware that the funds on "hold" will be "frozen" typically for 5-7 business days, and will not be available for withdrawal. You must be familiar with your bank's policy and plan for these funds to be unavailable. Bid4Assets will not be responsible for "insufficient fund" fees.
We want to assure you that we have taken the care and time to ensure that our system is encrypted to protect your personal information.

* "Penalty for Non-Performance": If a bidder wins an auction and fails to complete the transaction, and the seller has lived up to the terms displayed in their auction, the bidder's card will be charged $250 for non-performance on a real estate auction and $100 for all other auction categories.

* Suspension: Bidders who do not perform will also be suspended from bidding or selling for 60 days and must seek reinstatement in writing. The 60 day suspension will begin when a written request is received. Bidders who do not perform a second time will be suspended permanently.

Changes for Sellers:

Bid4Assets will also be more diligent enforcing our seller policies as outlined in Bid4AssetsTerms of Service.
 

• Non-Performing Bidders must be reported to Bid4Assets within 30 days of non-performance or the auction completion fee is still due.

• Any fees or charges not paid within 30 days of provision of service will be subject to a late fee equivalent to the rate of 1.5% per month from the date of provision of service.
