Land Auctions And The Excitement It Brings

By Deborah Brown


Auctions for land properties is one of the great way to own land in a cheaper price. Most of the time, it is the government that does such kind of activities so they can sell the lands. The properties that are often placed in auction are those rural investments, ranch, foreclosure and more. Commonly, the size of those that are being sell would range from one to over six hundred acres. This method is widely practiced in many states like North Dakota Land Auction.

Regardless of its advantage from it cheap sale price, there also are so many promos that are deemed exciting during auctions. A chance to own a property which is popular vacation places often near spots like lakes, golf courses, mountains, parks and more. Ranches that are wide enough to be used for farm businesses can as well be on sale.

Auctions that are government conducted usually are announced fourteen days before the actual day it is supposed to take place. During that entire time, they already are showing some previews of those items that will be on sale on the auction. That is to help those participants choose early which among those all items are they willing to bid on.

The entire auction would last more or less three hours depending on how many properties are there on sale and how many bidders that have participated. Sometimes people who have participated cannot go the venue during the actual program and that would forfeit the participation. Although, there are chances that if it the absence will be predetermined, an absent bid will be asked.

That is called an absent bid. It serves as bidding amount of those people that are absent so that even if they were not able to make it, they still have a slight chance to own the property they chose. The registration of such is done online.

Once the registration is completely submitted, the terms and the condition would be visible on the webpage to explain the scopes of the agreement. Note that this is something legal and signing up in the website is deemed final and irrevocable. Do not start signing up and creating absent bid when buying item is not a final decision.

As of now, auctions are usually conducted online, there are rare situations when done physically with the venue and all. The rule would be before the program starts, at the initial part of participation, the website would ask the bid amount. And everyone is going to be against other online bidders that are on website.

When the program starts, auction house will initially set the start price and the bidding starts. The auctioneer gathers all bids including ones from absentees. Last chance bids will be accepted until the item will officially be closed.

Once an item is closed, the winning bidder will then be announced right there and then. That is the entire routine until all the items are sold to its new owners. The possibility of winning the property through may be of luck but it cannot be denied how exciting the experience may be and how fulfilling would it actually be if the winning happens.
