The public auction generated $11,404,720 which is $526,000 over the appraised value. Of the eight properties sold, only one had competitive bidding and seven had only one bid. The competitive bidding resulted in a 4.84% overall increase above the total appraised value of the properties.
All leased properties auctioned today had homes on them. The land is held in trust by IDL for the Public School Endowment beneficiary, but the cabins and other improvements on the land are owned by the leaseholders as personal property.
Four lessees successfully purchased their split estates. Non-lessees purchased the other four lots and will pay IDL the amount bid for the land and pay the lessee the appraised value of the personal property.
The Idaho Constitution requires a public auction for the sale of state endowment trust lands, and IDL can accept no less than the appraised value of the properties.
