(Spoiler Alert: My client won the auction)
With paddles in hand and game-faces on, 11 bidders or representatives thereof were ready to raise hands in high hopes of purchasing the luxurious Kohola Point — a 4-bedroom, 3-acre oceanfront estate at Anini Vista on Kauai’s North Shore that was auctioned yesterday by host Concierge Auctions.
The anticipation was thick at the auction venue just before it began
About Real Estate Auctions
As a luxury real estate auction marketing firm, Concierge Auctions’ objective is to obtain fair market value for high-end properties in a 60-day time-frame. We can’t share the amount of the winning bid for another few weeks, but it’s safe to say that it will represent the highest sales price in Anini Vista in the last year. So, perhaps auctions are proving to be a more effective means of moving high-end properties in a manner that is timely and satisfactory to both buyer and seller. Is a tidal shift in the methods of sales upon us?
Bidders mingling before the business side of the day
With most auctions drawing an average of 7 bidders, and each bidder required to place $100,000 in escrow just to earn their paddle, the high turnout for Kohola Point’s auction (11 bidders) reflects the current strength of Kauai real estate. This point is even further affirmed by a recent article in Baron’s designating Kauai the second best locale in the United States for second homes.
With a bedroom view like this, a second home may become a first home
Kauai is #2 for #2.
Aloha,
Roni

Thanks for the blog Roni! ‘Concierge Auctions’ is holding a $8,950,000 home for auction at the ultra private Kuki’o subdivision on the west side of the Big Island May 24, 2012. This Kuki’o auction is not an absolute auction & has a starting bid of $3,990,000. I have seen the home and it is magnificent! I am sure it will be sold at a great value as well. Don’t you think we will be seeing more of these types of sales? Its a great way to develop exposure on the property and a excellent way to purchase a great home at wonderful price.

You get to learn something new everyday when you are a REALTOR! With 20 years of residential sales under my bikini I have not had the pleasure of working with the process of auction without distress. Talk about Dynamic! Wow!!!
