Homes for auction in Bellevue and Redmond, Washington?  I noticed the first signs I’d ever seen for the auction of residential real estate in the Overlake area of Redmond/Bellevue, just a hop, skip, and a jump from Microsoft.

I’d just left a meeting with a client in a nearby neighborhood and was surprised to stumble upon a sign posted advertising an upcoming real estate auction.  I drove by the home and it had fabulous street appeal.  Sited on a cul-de-sac, it looked to be nicely updated.

 I know homes have gone into foreclosure and to auction, but it’s still a surprise to see a sign posted advertising a real estate auction in the area.  The Redmond/Bellevue/Microsoft area has been the strongest performing real estate area on the eastside.  That being said, there are people in all demographics and neighborhoods who are struggling and losing their homes. No area is exempt.

The auction company, John Hill, has a website and people are able to bid online, for this home.  The auction is on October 13th at 7 PM.  You can attend the auction in person at the neighborhood clubhouse or bid online.
