We mapped all the Detroit properties up for auction at the 2011 Wayne County Foreclosure Auction, then followed the bidding in real time. WDWOT is designed to identify these properties and open a crucial channel for sharing local knowledge and insight that can lead to healthier auction outcomes. We want to help match vacant places to owners who will love them. For 2012 and on we are showing all government-owned properties in the city.
