Over the last weekend, I rifled through over 370,000 completed auctions on govauctions.app, to see if I could find any fun and unintuitive patterns. About six potentially profitable patterns are supported by the data.

A subset of the data is available for download at the bottom of the post if you're interested in poking around. Let me know what you think.

So, Github Actions is currently at two nines of uptime?

Real estate specifically is very hard to "value" sight unseen from a bidding perspective. The post I shared - with the information on what to look out for as well as possible additional costs - is part of helping people to understand what to bid.

Yes, sorry, the map UI could be better. You can zoom in to the state level, which hopefully will help a little with not losing context.

The data are from HUD, Fannie Mae HomePath, and Freddie Mac HomeSteps. There's a methodology section towards the bottom of the page.

Apologies, clicking on the dot should also take you to the listing.

Appreciate it, but no need - happy you found it interesting. If you end up buying one of these, let me know!

Over the weekend, I pulled some data from my website to find the cheapest homes you can buy from the US federal government. The outliers (a $3,000 house in Flint, MI) are often in quite a state of disrepair, but there are lots of...lots...which are in reasonable condition across many US states.

Oh boy ok thank you for the screenshot :-) I'll see what I can do.
