The three-property condo auction held by TeamBuilderJLS this past weekend yielded over $3 million in sales.

According to the press release 18 very fortunate homebuyers took advantage of great prices at the auctions of the Sunrise on the Lake, The Summit, and Avaview condominium projects last Saturday. The condominiums offered on auction day sold for 136% over the recommended minimum bid pricing to the full satisfaction of the Seller.

“A $3 million sales day is significant in the middle of the holiday season,” says Jeff Powell of JL Powell Auction Company, the auctioneer for the event. “This auction was a success and we’re looking forward to conducting more auctions in the New Year,” says Powell.

Koket Fowler of TeamBuilder Auction Group applauds the bidders that participated in the auction. “These buyers received some fantastic deals and we’re very happy for them. To get in on prices like these for an in-city condo is unheard of.”

The Seller of the three communities elected to sell some units subject to their final confirmation and opted to offer some units post-auction.

The condo auction that was to have taken place on December 5th has been rescheduled for this coming Saturday – December 12th at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Seattle. The auction begins promptly at 1:00 pm.

This auction includes three separate properties located on Capitol Hill and North Seattle – The Summit, Avaview and Sunrise on the Lake. Available homes include studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units with the minimum bid price beginning at $95,000.
