Click Here For A Virtual Tour Of The House Multi-Par Bidding Format: This auction uses a multi-parcel (multi-par) format, which means tracts are offered individually or in combination. How it works: Once each tract has at least one bid, a combination can be opened. A combination bid must be at least one increment higher than the total of the current bids on the individual tracts. Combinations and Individual Tract Bids: If a combination bid is placed, you could be outbid even if no one else is bidding directly on your tract. However, if that combination is broken up by new bids on another individual tract, your original bid may become the winner again — or you can increase your bid to regain the lead. Bidding rules: There are no “max bids” in this format. Instead, you may bid at the next increment or enter a specific bid amount above the next increment, which will be placed immediately at that amount. Extended Close: If any bids are placed on any tract or combination in the last 2 minutes of the auction then bidding for all tracts and combinations will remain open for an additional 2 minutes. In short: you can bid on single tracts or groups, combinations can shift the high bids, and you must place exact bids no max (auto) bidding.  If you have any questions about bidding please call, text, or email us.
