Selling per Court Order
OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY - Nov. 26th - 1-2pm
New owner will be required to pay the Town of Centerville
$700 (Seven Hundred Dollars) for a NEW WATER METER
The house was built in 1949 and measures 36' x 27',
plus a front porch. The metal roof appears to have been
installed in recent years. The siding is white vinyl.
I have only opened the front door and observed what
appears to be the original hardwood floors.
I will examine the interior of the house and provide
additional photos and details soon. Stay posted...
You will notice the windows and doors are "boarded" with
"Condemned" signs posted. The Town of Centerville
has restricted access to the house because the water
service has been disconnected. The Town of Centerville
discovered individuals living in the house without water
and sewer and determined the house "Unfit for Human Occupancy".
The municipality cannot allow anyone to live in a structure without
a potable water supply. The residents were ordered to vacate.
The King heirs have petitioned the Chancery Court to cause
the property to be sold at auction. Court Order...
Chancery Court Order No. 23-CV-7683
There is a 10% Buyer's Premium added to bid amount to
determine the final purchase amount.
Auctioneer, David Hudgins - Tennessee License# 4787
Online Bidding starts to end on Thursday, Nov. 30th - 6:00pm
"Starts to Close at 6:00pm CST" - All online auctions have a posted date and time. The time provided should not be considered a HARD CLOSE. We do not employ a Hard Close; we use a Soft Close method of bidding countdown, for purposes of extended bidding.
Extended Bidding means the capability of the online auction platform to be programmed to extend the closing time of each lot automatically by a pre-determined time (by 2 minutes for instance) as long as there is still bidding activity until all bids have been placed. “Auto extend” has the same meaning as “extended bidding”. This process is seen quite often during online personal property auctions; we also employ this same process during online real estate auctions.
Why does Hudgins Auctions use “Extended Bidding”… Fairness to all bidders! Essentially, it is a built-in function that adds a time extension after a bid has been placed within the final two minutes of the countdown timer. This extended bidding feature is to ensure that the process is fair for all bidders. A similar process is used in live auctions, where bidding continues as long as participants choose to place additional bids. In our live auctions, we often give fair warning, count down, etc. to allow all bidders opportunity to bid. Should a bid be submitted during this “extended countdown”, the bidding always continues until a last and final bid is achieved. The online bidding format has been designed to emulate the live auction – Fairness to all bidders!
SOLD & NO SALE: This is NOT an Absolute Auction; this is a Reserve Auction. The seller reserves the right to accept or reject the high bid.
