Current Listing (Restricted to sales for owner occupancy)
Offers pending.
Extended Listing (Open to all bidders unless otherwise noted)
Offers may be submitted at any time.
Please note the following applies to all offers submitted:
1) When so called “sweat equity” is involved on the rehab costs portion of the bid, a modified scope of work needs to be submitted by the prospective buyer that deducts the estimated sweat equity labor and materials value from those listed on the scope of work provided by the City. The necessary qualifications/ certificates/licenses for sweat equity work need to be submitted as well. For example, if the City's scope of work estimates rehab costs at $6,000 and the bidder is going to do "sweat equity", if the bidder estimates that bidder's sweat equity labor and material value equal $1,000, then bidder would deduct the $1,000 sweat equity from the $6,000 total estimated rehab to get to an adjusted $5,000 for estimated rehabilitation. See also Item 2 below. Also, in evaluating similar and competing bids, the City reserves the right to select offers in which licensed and/or certified vendors are utilized to complete the items identified on the scope of work. Furthermore, the Real Estate Department has the discretion to select offers in which it is deemed most likely that the work will be completed to building code standards in a timely manner.

2) Accepted offers will be evaluated on total investment. In evaluating and analyzing competing bids, the City adds the bidder's cash purchase price plus the bidder's estimated rehab costs to get a total investment number. Bids are compared against each other by comparing the total investment number from each bid.
