Foreclosure Losses of Many Turning into Gains for Some
Foreclosure losses of many are turning into gains for some auctioneers. The auctioneer and his team is busy aggressively persuading people not to let the chance go of snapping up bargain deals to turn houses into homes. The auctioneer group is on one side with his gavel and gestures and the bidders on the other in various moods of hope or despair, clutching paper and scribbling notes. The auctioneer cries down the list giving out details of bedrooms and bathrooms as he goes down the lines.
California based REDC or Real Estate Disposition Corporation is in the thick of work. The group like travelling circuses, plough through the country staging auctions on behalf of the banks.
In 2007 May the firm organized over 400 auctions dealing with over 50,000 houses and condos – all tainted by foreclosure. Unknown to the bidders each unit has a minimum sale price. If that point is not reached then the auction is rejected. The auctioneer begins with an altruistic note that all this brouhaha is “part of the solution to the current economic and foreclosure crisis.”
A modest condo priced at $215,000 in Heber City is up for bidding and goes for $110,000. It once belonged to an electrician who was a loving father. He succumbed to lung cancer and foreclosure. Another $139,100 condo in Orem has a tale of violence to tell. The owner brutally attacked a woman one night and this led to his losing his government job and consequently his home. It came to be sold for $95,000. A ‘preservative maniac’ atop his mansion on a hill made the creepy place with caverns look neat and habitable was overvalued at $3 million. It was bid and sold for $605,000.
Item 1104 is in South Jordan having eight bedrooms. The bidding jumps from $250,000 to touch $270,000. The auctioneer dramatizes the moment as he shouts, “I’m at 270! Don’ lose it! Don’t lose it!” Many years ago a developer purchased an old ranch that kept sheep and broke it up into plots. In 2002 Paul Furse bought one such lot of three acres for $68,000. With the help of his wife and four children (the eldest being 15 at that time) Furse began to build the house brick by brick by hand. Furse was not by profession a house builder but he just got this bee in his bonnet. The entire sage was even filmed. Nobody knows when exactly the house became a home. But everyone knows when it became a house again when several business ventures floundered and foreclosure snapped it up.
