Shopping for foreclosures eBay-style in South Florida
December 10, 2009 03:30PM By Luis F. Perez
From the South Florida Web site: Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties are moving toward eBay-style online foreclosure auctions with a hope that it can speed up the selling process and reduce the distressed property glut.
Miami-Dade went live with its Web site Monday and plans its first auction for Jan. 11. Palm Beach Cou
nty has scheduled its first online auction Jan. 21. And Broward is working toward a February launch.
The online auction system is designed to open up the bidding process to anyone with Internet access. With more bidders and a more efficient system, officials hope to push through the backlog of foreclosures faster than holding the traditional auctions at county court houses. And getting through that glut is a necessary step for the residential real estate market to recover.
