Types of Auction Properties You’ll Encounter
Foreclosure Auctions - Foreclosed properties are sold “as-is,” often at courthouse steps or via online platforms, offering quick access with high potential but minimal inspection opportunity.
Tax Sales (Delinquent Property Auctions) - Government auctions of properties with unpaid taxes—Clay County and similar jurisdictions host these annually. Winner may purchase a tax certificate; with time and if unredeemed, the deed may follow.
Post-Third Sales / Land Trustee Offerings - Properties remaining unsold after three years of tax auctions become available year-round via trustee offices—a lower-price opportunity for buyers.
Estate Auctions - Real estate sold to settle estates—often includes well-maintained homes or unique lots, sometimes with a clear title.
Bank-Owned (REO) Auctions - If a property doesn’t sell at auction, the lender takes ownership and may resell it through an agent or at a subsequent auction.
Private Commercial Auctions - Local auction firms often handle sales of commercial buildings, retail space, or farmland—typically with broader marketing and more detailed listings.
