Additional Guidance Concerning All Exclusive Listing Periods:
HUD considers bids received on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in the same bid period as being received simultaneously during that period. The AM will open those bids on:
- the following Monday; or
- the next business day, if Monday is a federal holiday.
HUD will choose the winning bid, which produces the greatest net return to HUD and meets HUD’s terms of offering of the Property.
If a bid is not accepted during the Exclusive Listing Period, the AM will extend the listing to all buyers by listing the property in the Extended Listing Period.
- For Properties marketed as “insured” or “insured with escrow,” the exclusive listing period is 30 Days.
- For Properties marketed as “uninsured,” the exclusive listing period is 5 Days.
