Nothing left to show

Every parcel in this sale is hidden: 58 land-only. Land-only means no street address, a house number of zero, or a street with no number; withdrawn parcels are no longer on offer.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Indiana assesses at 100% of true tax value (assessed value has equalled 100% of true tax value since the 2001 assessment year), so the statutory ratio is 1.0. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
