Auctions marketing for real estate works like a charm with all types of properties (residential, commercial, industrial, farms, ranches, land). Turn virtually any type of property into cash quickly and sell "as-is" with no hassles or fix up.

Mr. and Mrs. Clagg, luxury home builders, owned a magnificent 3,000 square foot residence situated on a third of an acre. Sadly, they had their property on the market for over 10 months without an offer, even though the price was reduced 3 times. Read more...

This property was a rental property owned by an investor. It is located in Southwest Bakersfield in the Silver Creek development. The home was in good condition with over 1,600 sq. feet (3 bedroom 2.5 baths). Read more...
"...What I needed was URGENCY---A reason for buyers to buy my house in as-is condition-NOW. And that is why I went with the auction format... BIG SUCCESS….My problem home was SOLD!!!"

You won’t get market value. You can set a reserve price, but then you run the risk of paying for an auction that doesn’t sell the house.
The question is “how desperate are you to sell?” You don’t say who (if anyone) you have marketing the property, but if it hasn’t sold for a year, I don’t think much of whoever it is, who hasn’t explained the market to you yet.
Your best bet on getting the best price 1) get a real agent 2) reduce the price, because it’s obviously not worth what you’re asking.
not any longer Don’t auction it now…you will never get market value….auctioning is only good for the seller when it is a “sellers market”
Be hard to do because most people go to auctions to get things at lower prices,but you don’t have to sell if the bid isn’t what you want.
It’s an auction, and the house will go to the highest bidder. Could be higher, more tham likely, though, it will be lower. Housing has slowed down lately.
This site has many reports that will most likely answer most of your questionshttp://www.paynotaxesforlife.com
there is never a guarantee at an auction that you will get what you want. you can guarantee that you do not sell it for lower than you want by having a “reserve”, if the reserve is not met , it does not sell. you will incur some expenses though for having the auction. ebay has a large real extate auction service.
