Six row homes at Seville Row and two single-family detached homes in the Les Bois Collection, all located in Villebois, will be auctioned on Sunday, Dec. 12. Bids start at $175,000 on properties previously priced up to $369,000.

The auction begins at 1 p.m. at Holiday Inn-Wilsonville, 25425 S.W. 95th Ave., Wilsonville. Registered participants should arrive no later than noon for the auction, which will last approximately one hour.

“Sustainable communities like Villebois Village Center put a premium on quality of life, healthy recreation and social interaction,” said Rhett Winchell, president of Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Kennedy Wilson Auction Group. “On Dec. 12, Kennedy Wilson’s proven auction format will enable a select few lucky bidders to gain entry to the modern village lifestyle at closeout pricing.”

Six three-story, two-bedroom row homes at Seville Rows provide between 2,005 to 2,490 square feet of living space. Gourmet kitchens, great rooms and dining nooks enhance livability, which include hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. There are covered multi-level decks and two-car garages.

The pair of single-family, detached homes at the Les Bois Collection offer two- to three-bedrooms and 2.5 baths in a loft-style design with up to 2,017 square feet of living space. Each home includes its own garage, a private patio and a landscaped, low-maintenance yard.

Successful bidders at the Villebois Village Center auction can choose from a range of financing programs offered by MetLife Home Loans. Auction day purchasers are also eligible for a special incentive. Buyers who obtain financing through Met Life Home Loans, and who close escrow within 45 calendar days of the auction, will be credited $1,000 toward non-recurring closing costs (based on lender guidelines) by the seller at the close of escrow. Buyers who choose to pay cash for their purchase and close escrow within 15 days of the auction will be credited $2,500 towards non-recurring closing costs by the Seller at the close of escrow.

Registered bidders are encouraged to attend a “How to Buy” information seminar at 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 5 at the Villebois Village Center Auction Information Office. The seminar gives new potential bidders a chance to familiarize themselves with the auction process. As with other Kennedy Wilson “How to Buy” seminars, the highlight will be an exciting live practice auction hosted by an actual Kennedy Wilson auctioneer.

The auction information office is located at 11422 S.W. Barber Street, Wilsonville. Office hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. More details can be found at http://www.VilleboisAuction.com.
