Get Your Paddles Ready: Time to Bid

The next three weekends will bring 7 auctions to the Bay Area, with more than 700 homes on the block and available to qualified buyers. Opening bids begin under $200,000 and run the gamut. If you are interested in going this route, make sure you read auction website information very carefully, make verbal contact with the agencies holding the auctions, and have all your financial ducks in a row. Normally you will need a cashier’s check of a certain amount to enter bidding, and many require loan pre-qualification.
