Looking for information on the 2014 LA County Tax Sale<\/span>? You can find it here.<\/a><\/h4>\n

With only a few days left until this year\u2019s Los Angeles County Tax Sale<\/a> \u2013 set to take place on October 21, 22 in Pomona \u2013 we thought we\u2019d take a look at the properties that will go up for auction. And they\u2019re quite a few!<\/p>\n

According to our Los Angeles Foreclosure<\/a> data, an impressive total of 3,503 properties will be auctioned off by the\u00a0Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector<\/a> as the owners failed to pay their property taxes. That\u2019s 51 percent more than in 2012, when 2319 properties were up for grabs.\"foreclosure<\/p>\n

Consisting mostly of vacant lots (a total of 1,602 properties that account for 46 percent) and single family homes & farms (1,009 units, accounting for 29 percent of all properties scheduled for auction), this year\u2019s Los Angeles Tax Sale will have a median starting bid of over $8,000. However, more than a third of the properties have a minimum starting bid lower than $5,000.<\/p>\n

You can take a look at all 3,503 properties on our dedicated section under the Los Angeles Foreclosures<\/a> tab, narrow down your search using auction details such as minimum bid amount and property type, and conduct further research on any property that catches your eye. Find out when the property was built, who owns it, when it was last sold and for how much, its size and square footage, and much more. You can even run a Comparables search to get an estimated market value for the property.<\/p>\n

1333 Miller Drive, West Hollywood<\/a>, a single-family home scheduled for auction with a tax lien of $120,033 is a good example of what you might see at the Los Angeles County Tax Sale; the 2,016-square-foot home \u2013 built in 1934 \u2013 boasts 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and was most recently sold in 2007, when the current owner paid $2 million for the property. Running a Comparables search reveals that the median price of similar properties sold recently within a 1 mile radius exceeds $1.6 million, the property having an assessed value of $1,645,000. This sounds like a potentially great deal, depending on how much the price goes up during the bidding war and on the risks attached to buying a property at auction (e.g. poor state of the property).<\/p>\n
