Court House Auctions January 26 at 1:30pm

Many visitors to my web site enjoy checking the foreclosures page on a routine basis. The master commissioner has auctions on the last Monday of each month inside the court house at the bottom of the stairway. A notice is placed in the Paducah Sun on the second Friday of each month listing the properties to be auctioned. The same list is also on display in the hallway near where the auction is held.

Generally, any bank lender foreclosures that are held are purchased back by the lender. These autions are usually not purchased by auction visitors. There are properties to be auctioned from time to time that are unrelated to failed mortgages.

This January 26, 2009 there are several properties being auctioned. Most are lender foreclosures but there are several this month that are being auctioned to pay delinquent taxes, nuisance code liens or are the result of a dispute between parties. Habitat for Humanity has foreclosures this month as well. This month I have listed auctions that would likely be available to a private buyer or investor.

As noted in the information posted in the Paducah Sun notice, these homes are generally not available for inspection even if you intend to bid on a property.

I intend to attend this auction. If you have any interest in any of these auctions let me know what you have in mind. Maybe I can provide assistance.
