Buyers Can Score Deals at Auction of Nearly 200 Nevada Foreclosures

Nearly 30 Homes Auctioned in Reno October 7th and 150 Homes Auctioned in Las Vegas October 9th

LAS VEGAS , Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- In cities like Las Vegas where home prices continue to fall, buyers can find sizzling deals on foreclosed properties sold at auction. As foreclosure inventories continue creeping up across the country, banks are selling these homes at discounted prices to avoid long-term carrying costs. Hudson & Marshall will auction nearly 30 bank-owned homes in Reno October 7th and another 150 homes in Las Vegas October 9th.

Valued from about $33,000 to $294,000, all homes come with an insurable title and no back taxes or liens. Buyers will be required to make a cash or certified check deposit of $2,500 for each property which they are the winning bidder.

"With interest rates at historic lows and home prices still trending downward in many cities, now is the time for homebuyers contemplating a purchase to dive into the market," said Dave Webb, principal Hudson & Marshall. "Investors and owner occupant buyers who purchase property now will likely see a good return on their investments when the market rebounds," added Webb.

While some markets are seeing home prices move upward, home values in Las Vegas are sinking to new lows. According to S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices data through July 2010, home prices in Las Vegas have steadily declined in all but two of the past 46 months. Based upon its peak in August 2006 to its current low, the Las Vegas housing market is down 57%.

All homes being auctioned by Hudson & Marshall are sold "as-is" and buyers should inspect properties before placing any bids. Properties can be viewed during the open house scheduled Saturday, October 2nd and Sunday, October 3rd from 1:00pm-3:00pm or by contacting listing agents to schedule appointments.
