Foreclosed Properties in High Country Hit Auction Block As Yadkin Valley Financial Corporation Cleans Its Books

indexBy Jesse Wood

Jan 29, 2013. Iron Horse Auction Company is auctioning off foreclosed properties, many of which are located in the High Country, in the second week in February. (See a recent HCP article on state of foreclosures in High Country.)

Properties in Alexander, Ashe, Avery, Caldwell, Watauga and Wilkes counties are on the auction block. This auction is among a bigger sale that features 149 properties in 17 counties in North Carolina and 21 properties in three counties in South Carolina. The appraised value of all the properties combined is more than $10 million.

“This is one of the largest auctions in North Carolina for a community or regional bank,” Sonny Weeks, an auctioneer with Iron Horse Auction, said. “This is a rare opportunity to buy bank owned properties at auction prices.”

This is a move by Yadkin Valley Financial Corporation to flush the properties from their books that is a bit different from Bank of America’s method, when it  received tax write-offs for demolishing homes and donated those properties to local governmental authorities in 2011. 

“Yadkin Valley Financial Corp has raised $45 million in capital, allowing the bank to move a large portfolio of bank owned properties off their books,” said Weeks. “The bank has authorized our company to auction these properties with no minimum to the highest bidder.”

The properties are to be sold and closed by March 20, 2013. The properties will be sold “free and clear of all liens,” with taxes paid up to the day of closing by the seller. All bidding is to take place online at www.ironhorseuaction.com, where you can also view aerial maps, deeds and tax cards. The auctions are divided into three geographical areas with slightly different dates:

  • Charlotte Metro Auction, Wednesday, Feb. 6 to Wednesday, Feb. 13
  • Western N.C. Auction, Thursday, Feb. 7, to Thursday, Feb. 14 
  • Eastern N.C. Auction, Friday, Feb. 8, to Friday, Feb. 15 

Pre-auction offers will be entertained.
