What is a real estate auction?
But what is a auction of real estate? Before knowing how to buy real estate at auction, you need to know what the subject is about. Basically, in a real estate auction, land, apartments and houses are negotiated that no longer belong to the previous owners, but to financial institutions or the State itself.
In this way, in most cases it is possible to buy land close to the city center, with the house already built on top (or under construction) for less than 100 thousand reais. Wouldn't that be a dream? Unlike car auctions, the condition of these properties is close to 100%.

This is because the processes of attachment and seizure of unpaid properties in their financing occur very quickly. Thus, about 4 months after the lack of payment of one (or more) installment, the property is now available at auction. Keep reading with us to learn how to buy property at auction.
How much does a property cost in such an auction?
But, how much does a property cost from an auction? Well, that depends a lot. It depends a lot on the type of property we are dealing with, that is, on its real market value. Thus, there is no way to state a fixed value for all properties that are sold at auction.
However, as in a car or motorcycle auction, it is possible to take into account the 40% rule. But what do you mean by the 40% rule? It is not a rule, strictly speaking, but the vast majority of the most affordable auctions are sold between 40% and 60% of the market value of the product at stake.
Thus, a car whose FIPE is worth R$20,000.00 is usually sold for between R$8,000.00 and R$12,000.00. Of course, there are exceptions that this “rule” is broken, that's why we said it's not a rule per se. The same goes for the property, worth R$200,000.00, usually sold for between R$80,000.00 and R$120,000.00.
