Bidding for house starts at 1 cent


By JEFF COLLINS / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
A Phoenix man plans to auction off a house he bought for $80,000 one cent at a time, with the maximum bid set at $5,000.
Arizona real estate investor Todd Talbot said he paid $80,000 for the house in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale and spent another $20,000 fixing it up. The total value, he maintains is $125,000.

A house that Arizona real estate investor Todd Talbot bought at a foreclosure sale for $80,000 will sell for $5,000 or less -- provided that Talbot can get 1,000 people to pay $150 apiece to take part in his "penny auction" plan.

Under Talbot’s “penny auction” plan, potential buyers can bid one cent at a time up to a maximum of 150 bids apiece. The lucky winner will get the house for $5,000.01, plus the $150 he or she spends to buy a “seat” to the online auction.
How can Talbot sell his house for a mere $5,000?
“I make my money on the sale of the auction seats,” he said. Talbot said the auction won’t take place until he sells 1,000 seats.
By selling a thousand seats at $150 a seat, he should  — wait a minute. That’s $150,000!
That’s a return of 50% on a $100,000 investment. Not bad.
Talbot acknowledged that his penny auction has “an element of both auction and raffle.” His lawyers say it’s legal, he said.
The event is part endurance contest as well, with the bidding going 24 hours a day for days on end. The bidding ends when a minute elapses without a new bid, or when the price hits $5,000.01.
The auction could begin this week.
Penny auctions have become popular for  iPads and other consumer items. Talbot thinks his sale will be the first penny auction for real estate.

Hollis Morgan held their second auction of 2012 on Wednesday, March 28, in the iconic surroundings of All Saints' Church, Clifton.

This ever-evolving property event offers more than just the opportunity to buy real estate, with a good range of local businesses such as Your Design Bristol and Charterbank showcasing their own products, special offers and expertise before and after the sale.

In excess of 180 people attended the auction and a good number took full advantage of the complimentary drinks reception in its immediate aftermath – including buyers, sellers and a host of property professionals.

The sale itself offered 19 Lots, a slightly reduced number from the 26 that were originally available, after some had to be postponed until May's auction and Lots 5, 9 and 21 sold prior to the evening. Of these, Lot 5, 72 and 73, Old Market Street, was the most intriguing – a former nightclub positioned yards from the Old Market roundabout with fantastic links to the city centre, Temple Meads and the M32. After failing to sell at February's auction with no concrete interest and a slow start to this month's viewing period, the penultimate two weeks saw an unbelievable turnaround with three interested parties all very keen to make offers. Eventually it sold for well above its guide of £195,000 and will now be updated with changes to the layout, but utilised in much the same way as previously, with a live music venue and new bar set to open very soon.

The evening got off to a very promising start, with Lot 1, 62 Mansfield Road, selling for £110,000. Interestingly, despite a viewing period which lasted for several weeks, the buyer of this property actually saw it for the first time on the day of the auction! This is a great example of just how quick and efficient buying property through auction can be. 12 Montpellier, Weston-super-Mare (Lot 2) sold just above its guide, for £185,000. This huge property in a very pleasant part of Weston now offers its new owner a range of opportunities. Renovation and updating is necessary throughout, but the end product could either be a large family home, a guest house or hotel, or a series of one and two bed flats, with further scope to extend the property by using the substantial garden to the rear of the house.

Lot 3, 6 Lawford Street, Old Market, again generated lots of interest and several bidders were competing on the night. It eventually sold for a very reasonable £106,000, £16,000 above its guide of £90,000.

Other highlights of the evening included the sales of The Site at 21-23, Gilda Close (Lot 24), which has full planning for two buildings containing a total of four flats – this sold for £86,000, while Lot 20, garage to rear of 65 Begbrook Drive, Frenchay, made £8,500.

The main talking point of the whole auction, however, came in the form of Lot 14 – 7, St Nicholas Road, St Paul's. This high-yielding investment property had been the subject of a repossession and as such was offered with an extremely attractive guide price of £225,000. With two telephone bids coming from abroad and a further five interested parties present at the auction, a bidding frenzy emerged with the price rapidly passing £250,000 and soon was in to the £270,000s. At this stage, two bidders dropped out, leaving just one telephone bidder and a local investor in the room. After much deliberation, they both continued on past £280,000, with each bid increasing by just £500 on the last by this stage. Finally, bidding came to an end at £290,000, as it was relayed that the telephone bidder was not prepared to raise this offer.

Including the property that was sold prior to auction, the total amount of real estate that exchanged hands was in excess of £1.2million.

Full results of Wednesday's auction are now available at www.hollismorgan.co.uk. Hollis Morgan are taking Lots for their next sale on Wednesday, May 30.
