Updates on the Wayne County Tax Auction have been trickling in this week as closing ended on Wednesday. It appears there are at least four big-ticket items this time around, which combined, sold for just over $1 million. All are focused in or around Midtown.
The largest bid won appears to be at 457 E Kirby, a five-story, brick apartment building within walking distance to the Detroit Institute of Arts, which sold for $661,000. Starting bid, $99,500.
Next is a two-flat at 666 W Forest. Notes on the Why Don't We Own This site say that as of Sept. 5, this property was occupied. Bids started at $46,900 and ended at $219,000.
We then jump over to 5850 Fourth St., a brownstone, with at least four units and a short distance from Wayne State, that sold for $141,000, original asking price, $6,800.
In the nutzo parking department, last week we brought you a parking spot in the Park Shelton garage, foreclosed on after racking up $4,800 in unpaid taxes and fees. Well that single space sold for $35,300. That's more than many houses in Detroit, buy hey, it's a prime spot in congested Midtown. Surely, the investment will save the buyer plenty of parking tickets in the future.
