When buying houses for auction, you need to be prepared for the expenses you'll face. Know how much it will cost to buy a house, as well as how much you can offer to win it.

Cost of purchasing a house from an auction

There are many factors that affect the cost of purchasing a house at auction. It all depends on the type and requirements of the seller. Generally, the buyer must provide funds within 24 hours of the auction close. Buyer's premiums can amount to up to 10% of the sale price. It's important that you check with the auctioneer before making the payment. To obtain a pre-approved mortgage, you should contact your lender. There are hard money lenders that don't require you to provide an appraisal if you don’t have a traditional mortgage loan.

You can get a great deal by buying a house through an auction, but be mindful of the risks. Experienced investors will likely outperform you in their knowledge of the property's details. Furthermore, you won’t be allowed to inspect the house prior to signing, so it is important to be open to accepting a property with issues.

Auction bidding cost

It is important to be informed about the costs of bidding at an auction for houses. Most auctions require payment in cash or cashier’s cheque. You might be able later to finance the purchase. However, it's best to come to the auction with the funds in hand. For you to be eligible to bid, you must also register with an auctioneer.


It's a smart idea to do some research on your options before you go to an auction. It's possible to research the local housing market and talk with real estate professionals about homes that are available for auction.

A reserve auction house purchase

A house bought at a reserve auction comes with a lot of risk. The house owner does not have to sell the house legally at that price. You might feel tempted, however, to put a higher bid than the reserve. The downside to this is that you may be outbidding other bidders and the house can end up being unsold.

In several ways, a reserve sale is different to a traditional property-auction. Reserve auctions allow the highest bidder only to place a price that is 10% or less than the reserve price. However, the seller reserves the right not to accept the highest bidder for the auction within a specific time. This period may be immediately following the auction or 72 hours later.

Buying a house at an online auction

It is important to do a title search before buying a property at an online auction. This will ensure that there aren't any liens. This is often done before you begin bidding. You should contact the owner before bidding on a home. It's a smart idea to have a lawyer do a title search. This is a crucial step as any liens or encumbrances that may exist can be transferred to the new buyer.

Be sure to have all the necessary documents and enough money to pay the purchase price before you place a bid. A majority of auction websites require buyers create an account, and to deposit an earnest cash deposit. As the process of buying an online house can be quite quick, make sure you are aware of your financial limits.
