About this property
PROPERTY SOLD ABSOLUTE WITH BID OF $199,997 WHERE FINAL HIGH BIDDER WINS! Will it be YOU? - BUY This Home at the Real Estate Sale Saturday September 12 at 12 Noon - On-Site at the Property. (Buyer Agents Welcome 5%) Most real estate listings begin with the seller's wishful thinking and hopes reflected in an asking price, often based upon speculation about what an agent, Realtor, or broker believes a "similar" home sold for in the past. This listing begins with something more important: a real, measurable commitment from the seller. The $199,997 figure is not a prediction of the final sale price, and it is not a ceiling. It is the publicly disclosed point at which the seller's reserve is satisfied. Once bidding reaches $199,997, the property must be sold. Your first decision is not whether to buy. It is to be ready. View the property & arrange your financing. (Yes! You can use a mortgage to buy this home!) Be at the property before 12 Noon September 12. When bidding reaches $199,997, the highest bidder wins. Will it be you? Located in an established State College neighborhood, this well-kept 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers approximately 1,456 sq. ft. of living space on a 0.28-acre lot. It is less than 2.5 miles from Beaver Stadium and minutes from Penn State University, downtown State College, shopping, dining, and amenities-combining a residential setting with outstanding proximity. Inside, the home offers a bright, inviting layout with a spacious living room, kitchen, dining area, and comfortable bedrooms. A mini-split system provides heating and cooling. Outside, a private patio with a hot tub beneath a retractable roof creates an appealing place to relax, entertain, or enjoy evenings outdoors. The lot also offers space for gardening, play, pets, or simply enjoying the neighborhood. Whether you are seeking a primary residence, Penn State-area housing, or a State College investment property, this opportunity deserves serious attention before sale day. HIGHLIGHTS: 3 bedrooms; 1.5 bathrooms; approximately 1,456 sq. ft.; 0.28-acre lot; mini-split heating and cooling; patio with hot tub and retractable roof; less than 2.5 miles from Beaver Stadium; minutes from Penn State and downtown; 5% buyer-agent compensation, subject to written terms. FAQ Q: What exactly does $199,997 mean? A: It is the point at which the reserve is satisfied. When bidding reaches $199,997, the property sells to the highest bidder. The final sale price may be higher. Q: Can I use a mortgage? A: Yes. Speak with your lender before the sale. Confirm how much you qualify to borrow and have the deposit needed on sale day. The successful buyer will make a $10,000 deposit that is held in escrow until closing. Q: Can I have an inspection or survey? A: Yes. Buyers are encouraged to complete inspections, surveys, financing review, and all you want to know before the sale. Contact us to arrange access. Q: How is this different from a traditional private sale? A: Private offers contain contingencies, demands, and timelines. Here, qualified buyers compete openly under the same announced terms, the seller's commitment point is disclosed, and each buyer decides what they will bid. Q: Why should buyers take this sale seriously? A: Because the seller has made the commitment point public. Visit the property, arrange your funds and be ready at Noon September 12. Q: Do I need a buyer's agent? A: Not at all. You may register and bid directly. If you already have an agent and want assistance, registered buyer agents are welcome, subject to written broker-registration terms. Tour the property and come ready to bid. This is not a listing to watch from the sidelines. One disclosed commitment. One public sale. One final high bidder. One new owner. The market decides. At Noon September 12, will it be you? Don't miss this rare opportunity in State College PA!

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
