Date Extended to May 14th for One-Day Auction of Single-Family Homes and Lots in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA – The auction of a portfolio of single-family homes and developable lots located in North Philadelphia has been extended to Wednesday, May 14th, according to Madison Hawk Partners, LLC, the national real estate firm and industry leader specializing in Structured Accelerated Sales which is conducting the one-day event on behalf of the seller, Kenpor, L.P.
The extended date is a result of the seller’s intention to add additional product to the offering and the need to complete the necessary title work. All properties in the auction are being sold free and clear of any liens. Fifty percent of the properties – which will be offered individually — will be sold Absolute, regardless of price.
Due to the new auction date, Madison Hawk will be holding additional Bidder’s Seminars on Tuesday, May 6th and 13th from 6:00 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Wednesday, May 7th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The seminars will be held at First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, Philadelphia.

The auction sale of these homes, some of which are occupied and some of which are vacant, will offer value-add opportunities for small investors and end-users to acquire and renovate the properties and either lease, sell or occupy them. The homes will have dramatic appeal to first-time buyers, in particular, who will be able to purchase a residence they can rapidly renovate and take pride in at significantly reduced prices.

“Kenpor, L.P. and city officials share a mutual objective of putting these homes into the hands of property owners who will complete needed repairs and subsequently elevate the quality of housing stock throughout North Philadelphia’s Kensington and Port Richmond neighborhoods,” said Mr. Hubbard. “They agree the most efficient way to accomplish that goal is through an accelerated auction sale. We have collectively incorporated specific guidelines into the bidding process that will guarantee funds are utilized to quickly fulfill renovation requirements. We’re confident this carefully-crafted program will achieve the desired results all parties are looking for.”
Under the agreement with the City, winning bidders will be required to place $6,500 into escrow per property which must be used to make verifiable improvements to each home.
