New HUD Homes Listings can go on the market any day of the week. In the
past they used to go on the market only once a week. This is one of the great changes HUD make with their new
marketing plan.
During the new Initial Listing Period Owner Occupants can place a bid during the first 30 days. During the first
10 calendar days of the first 30 days all bids are collected and will not be opened until the 11th day. The highest
bidder will be accepted if it is high enough for HUD. If no bids are high enough then the bidding will go on a
daily basis.
HUD prefers that Buyers be owner-occupants because they are most likely to take care of their property than
renters, thus improving the neighborhood.

Making Multiple Bids On More Than One HUD
Listing
What happens if you want to place a bid on more than one property? It is possible
to place a bid on more than one property but that doesn't mean you will get all of them. You can also make multiple
bids on the same poperty but that doesn't make much sense. You can learn more about Making Multiple Bids On A HUD Listing here.
Knowing the time lines is very important because you need to know when you can
make a bid on HUD homes listings as a owner-occupant and when you can make a
bid if you are an investor.
