The Search Experience

To better serve your needs, Auction.com has enhanced the property search experience to allow you to “include nearby results” as well as broaden the map view to a wider radius. Searching by zip code can leave out desirable neighborhoods and properties, so this free “search near” tool includes nearby properties that fit your search terms.

How to save a search and redo a search

 

Another upgrade: When you hover over a property on a Search Results Page, its online location pin will highlight neighborhoods on the map view. If you use the zoom in and zoom out function (+ –) or click to a new location, a white “search this area” button will appear. Click this button to repopulate the map with new location pins. Start searching properties near you.

More Dashboard Tips to Search and Save Homes

Tap the Foreclosure Interact™ Tool

This handy new feature on the app provides real-time status updates at in-person auctions, and may help:  

  • Sort properties by venue. Unique to the app, you can filter to see the number of properties that will be up for auction at any specific venue so you can plan in advance.
  • Better property search options. Search for foreclosure auctions by using three different view options: condensed, expanded, or grid.
  • Real-time status updates. Know which properties are canceled, postponed or cleared for sale leading up to auction day.  
  • Track properties from anywhere.* At a glance, track which properties are  “In-Auction” and actively accepting bids.
