I am confused though by the minimum bid. On the 112 Stepping Stone property, its listed for $505K in the MLS but shows a minimum bid of $728K. Why?</blockquote>
They are hoping the lender will take a short sale price of $505k. Will the lender take it, if they get an offer, when the lender is owed $728k? Probably not. But, that is the NTS amount, not the actual minimum bid. It could be the minimum bid, but it could change come 5/21. Take 27 Perennial for example, the NTS is $566k, but the minimum bid is $346.5k. And, keep in mind there are 6 other Quail Hill homes in foreclosure not on that list, plus a few in Shady too. So, the minimum bids will get lower, just wait and see.</blockquote>
Graphix,
How do you check what the min bid will be on the auction date? My cousin is currently looking to purchase in Irvine and they might be interested in buying some of these auction properties; although I really don't see how they can come up with all that cash upfront. Do they change the NTS amount the last few days?
It'd be cool if they could purchase around us, but I keep telling them to hold off on buying. If the prices on these foreclosures were compelling enough, it might be worth trying.
