We couldn't make the auction, but stopped by during the open house to ask questions and the realtors were very cagey about giving us information. We tried to find out why they were doing an auction instead of a normal sale and they just talked in circles. If it really takes $200k to upgrade it's gonna be a thin margin compared to the other houses on the block (at least according to zillow). Do you think the winning bidder gets to keep the books?

Do you think the winning bidder gets to keep the books?

Or if the winner will rent it or flip it. $791K for a SFH that big is on the surface is a steal. Beneath the surface, a lot will depend on whether they can update it without spending a fortune. They can easily spend $200K but can they with effort only spend $100K but with good results. I think a lot of folks overdo it on remodels - they lose sight of what is required vs. desired.
