Purchasing Prop NS Properties

Sales guidelines and available properties

Overview

Buildings stabilized through Prop NS are made available for offers to purchase during 21-day bid windows. Properties are sold to the highest bidder who has the capacity to rehab the property to occupancy code within 24 months. The next 21-day bid window will open on Tuesday, May 6th and close on Tuesday, May 27th at 12:00pm (noon). Please check back on Thursday, May 1st for a complete list of available properties.

Please read through the sections below for additional information.

Bidding Process and Requirements

Complete and valid offers received within the 21-day bid window will be reviewed by LRA staff and voted at a subsequent meeting of the LRA Board of Commissioners. The LRA Board will select the buyer with the highest bid who (in LRA's assessment) has the capacity to complete the rehab and bring the building up to occupancy code within 24 months. All offers submitted will receive a letter through the mail informing the offerors of the decisions made by the LRA Board. LRA will record a deed of trust on each Prop NS-stabilized property to ensure that rehab will be completed by the purchaser within 24 months.

LRA will generally only sell an offeror one property at a time. You may submit offers on multiple properties per round, but be aware that you may only have your offer accepted on one property. LRA will only sell additional properties to prior purchasers when they have shown significant progress on their earlier Prop NS purchase.

For the upcoming bid period, opening on Tuesday, May 6th and closing on Tuesday, May 27th at noon, there are no newly-completed properties available. However, we have selected 6 properties, which have been previously featured and unsold, to highlight and prioritize for open houses.
