Foreclosures hit home: 80 Tampa area homes part of giant statewide auction

Sign of the times:

On April 7-13, America’s largest foreclosure auction firm, Hudson & Marshall will auction over 500 foreclosed or bank-owned homes throughout cities in Florida. About 200 homes will be auctioned in Miami alone. Nearly a hundred will be auctioned in Orlando and about 80 in Tampa. Valued from $34,000 to over $700,000, all homes come with guaranteed title insurance paid for by the sellers.

“Over-building and the disproportionate number of foreclosures in Florida compared to other states has severely weakened Florida’s real estate market,” remarked Dave Webb, principal, Hudson & Marshall.

Hudson & Marshall will auction over 500 homes throughout Florida on the following dates: April 7th in Destin; April 8th in Fort Myers and Jacksonville; April 9th in Daytona and Port Charlotte; April 10th in Port St. Lucie, Melbourne and Tampa; April 12th in Miami/Fort Lauderdale; and April 13th in Orlando.

All homes are sold “as-is” and prospective buyers should preview all properties prior to placing bids.
There will be an open house for all properties April 5th and 6th from 1:00pm-3:00pm. Buyers may also contact listing agents to schedule appointments to inspect properties. Complete auction details and property listings may be found at

Times business reporter James Thorner has covered the Tampa Bay area housing market since 1999 and writes a weekly column on the topic in the St. Petersburg Times. Having recently bought and sold a house here, Thorner has shown his insights are more than theory. He's got the burn marks to prove it.
