There's a house around the corner that my wife and I have been interested in since last summer. We liked the bones of the house, the lot and the location. It was originally listed at a WTF price but it was obviously on its way to foreclosure. The mini real estate mogul owner had way too many properties and not enough money. Fast forward 7 months and it came on the market a couple of weeks ago at a low price of $ 500 K (short sale). It was then in back-up offer status within 12 hours (kinda funny, no?). Our agent called and was told that there was an accepted short sale offer and 6 back-up offers. Since I thought that this would take months to go through the process and that there would probably be at least one chance at a counter offer, I threw an offer into the hopper. Then I noticed that the listing was removed from Redfin last week. It wasn't in any status but totally gone, so I asked my agent to check it out. She called me last night and told me that it is up for auction in Santa Ana tomorrow at noon. Wow! I smell some hanky-panky with this situation.
I don't have the MLS listing number on me but the address is 33150 DeSoto Way in Dana Point. I'm pretty sure the zip is 92629.
Does anyone know about this sale?
How hard is it to actually buy the house on the courthouse steps?
Thanks,
