Soda Springs council votes to auction Enders Building with $650,000 minimum
The city says the downtown building is underused and costly to maintain.
The Soda Springs City Council voted 4-0 on Nov. 4 to sell the city-owned Enders Building at 76 South Main Street by public auction with a minimum price of $650,000, according to the meeting recording.
A public hearing notice read at the meeting said the council found the building underused and its upkeep a financial drain on the city, and that moving it into private ownership is the best way to preserve it.
Under the terms read into the record, the buyer pays a 5% buyer's premium and $15,000 in earnest money, which the winning bidder cannot get back; signs a real estate contract within two hours of the auction; and closes within 45 days. The building sells as is.
The council authorized the mayor to sign the sale documents and to contract with Primetime Auction as auctioneer and real estate agent.
