Parcels — ranked by assessed value over opening bid

No parcels published yet

The county has announced 5 parcels for this sale, but the parcel list itself has not been fetched yet — so there is nothing to rank here. Counties often publish it only days before the sale. Check back closer to Sep 22, 2026.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-283 requires all property to be appraised at its true value in money, which the statute defines as market value. There is no classification ratio and no county variation in the ratio itself — only in how recently it was measured. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
