Below are brief explanations of what you see on HUD listings when you review status and property condition reports.

As-Is Value: HUD will not guarantee condition of any property nor whether it meets local codes or zoning requirements. An FHA appraisal will determine fair market value of the property prior to the listing. Copies of that FHA appraisal will be made available to a buyer and their lender by request only after they’re under contract.

Investors: Investors cannot submit bids during the owner occupancy period which is specified on the HUD Home Website.  Only if the property remains unsold after the bid deadline can an investor submit their bid. In this case, the “Eligible Bidders” field on the HUD Home Website will say “All Bidders”.

Everyone: Go to www.HUDHomeStore.com to check out the HUD homes and their property condition reports. All you need to do from the Home page is

• choose the state of AZ and enter the city you’re looking in. Then hit enter for a list of the homes.
• You may click the case number to view each listing.
• Click the “Addendums Tab” to view the “PCR” which is the Property Condition Report.

Bid Deadline: Bids will be reviewed the following business day after the bid deadline. Bid winners shall be posted no later than 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time. For the first 10 days the property is listed, only Owner Occupant Purchasers bids can be submitted.  All owner occupant bids will be reviewed on the 11th day and considered as though they were received simultaneously. If no owner occupied bids are accepted on day 11, bidding is available to Owner Occupants on a daily basis until day 31 when bidding opens to All Bidders. 

Property Condition: Be sure to check out the property condition report prior to submitting a bid. It is recommended you hire your own licensed home inspector to inspect the property as well.
