OVERVIEW
What an opportunity! Skip the “cookie cutter” floor plans and opt for this wonderfully individual ranch home with generous rooms and unique features. Great updates and lots of “new” throughout. Bypass bland and bid on something special! (Can’t wait for the auction? Make an advance offer! Call for details.)
A Word About the Published Minimum Bid
Many times the seller's "reserve" or minimum acceptable bid is unknown to the bidders. In those instances, the high bidder finds out at the conclusion of bidding if he or she was successful in purchasing the property.
In this case, the seller is publishing his reserve of $95,000. If that seems exceptionally low, that's because it is! The house was appraised for $250,000 in 2009 and additional work has been done on it since then.
Why would the seller set such a low reserve? Because he wants to sell and is prepared to accept what the market is willing to pay. (Far more uncommon these days than it should be!) Because the bidding will start at the published reserve, you can bid with complete confidence, knowing that the property will sell at the auction.
Take a look at the photo gallery and come to an open house to decide what you want to bid. Keep reading for full details on this great home...

Note from the Auctioneer...
This home really makes a statement! The seller has moved and isn’t interested in holding it indefinitely so he chose auction to speed up the process (hence the low reserve bid). He has maintained the home well and has done a variety of improvements in preparation for the auction. He's ready to sell. Check out the photo gallery, stop by an open house and then come bid YOUR price!
