This real estate auction, featuring a development site of approximately 43 acres, sits on the westerly side of Grove City, which is considered one of the faster growing suburbs of the City of Columbus. About 8 miles southwest of the Columbus Central Business District, this development site is located directly across from the Central Crossing School Complex (Central Crossing High School and Holt Crossing Intermediate School) and South-Western Career Academy near the intersection of Holt Road and Big Run South Road.
The zoning on this parcel is split; CPD (Commercial Planned Development) for the frontage and multi-family for the rear portion, affording itself to a unique development opportunity of retail shopping and apartments or condominiums.
Attracting much interest from local homebuilders, developers and real estate investors, the online auction on the Freedom Realty Exchange (FRE.com) delivers a fair and competitive online bidding process which will bring true market value to the property and the seller.
“The inventory levels of similar land is high, but when a seller such as this bank steps up and sets a minimum bid well below market value, it’s hard for buyers to ignore”, states Ryan Devin with the auction company.
As an alternative choice to a traditional real estate sale, online auctions can be particularly effective for financial institutions that want to, or need to, get the inventory off their books quickly and believe that the auction creates a trading platform bringing buyer and seller together in such a way that fair market value is realized. Evident by the minimum bid of $499,000, less than $12,000 per acre, the bank is very motivated to sell.
“We have had a good response from interested parties, mostly local builders and investors, but also some from out of state, who see the upside in purchasing at a discount, waiting until the market turns and then being in a great position to take advantage of it”, states Devin.
As with all of auctions on the Freedom Realty Exchange website, property research, due diligence and bidding are conducted completely online, removing the inconvenience and unwanted pressure that comes with a traditional outcry auction. Interested buyers can access property documents and auction details by visiting FRE.com. Bids must be submitted by April 26th.

Our auction of a former auto dealership in Columbus, Ohio has come to an exciting end! The facility was comprised of three buildings in a high traffic industrial area. I don’t know if it was the property, the commercial land’s potential for redevelopment, the low minimum bid or the facility’s location that sparked such intense interest, but I can say that several bidders restlessly rose the stakes until one individual eventually won the property.
An initial bid deadline was set for December 17th, 2009, but the energized bidders continually extended the Bid Deadline for an additional 3 weeks! In each of LFC’s auctions, the seller has the right to invoke our patent-pending bid extension process called LAST CALL®, which extends the bid deadline by an additional 24 hours. Each time a new bid is placed, the deadline is extended once more.
LAST CALL® protects bidders from auction sniping. If you are familiar with other online auctions sites such as eBay, you know that everyone interested in the auction waits until the very last second to place their bid. There is even software that will automatically enter a bid in the last millisecond of the auction, what we call “auction sniping.” LAST CALL® protects bidders by eliminating the possibility of “sniping.” Real estate is a rather large investment to make online and we strive to give all bidders a fair chance at winning.
Understanding that real estate is a rather large investment to make online, we made the LAST CALL® extension increment 24 hours to give bidders plenty of time to deliberate. Similar to the live auctions held in a hotel ballroom or on the steps of a courthouse where auctioneers cry out, “Going once! Going twice! LAST CALL! SOLD!”, we give bidders extra time to calculate how much they are willing to pay for a property. However, unlike live auctions, which only give bidders mere seconds to analyze a property’s worth, we want bidders to take their time and make decisions rationally rather than in the heat of the moment.
In this recent Columbus campaign, LAST CALL® lasted for several weeks, driven by several bidders who competed throughout the holiday season, bidding on both Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Finally, the auction ended on January 8th, 2010 and the sale is now currently pending.
