property auctions
Bidding for buildings
Property auctions are public sales where real estate is sold to the highest bidder.
Unlike traditional sales with negotiated prices, auctions set a deadline and let competition determine value.
Properties may sell at auction due to foreclosure, estate liquidation, or a seller seeking quick sale: We picked up a fixer-upper at a property auction.
Buyers typically must pay deposits immediately and complete purchases quickly.
