How does HUD PowerBid use uploaded inventory?

Start with your selected inventory

Use the supported official HUD Case List Excel or CSV format in the import workflow. Review the current listing before making an offer because an uploaded file is a snapshot, not a live status confirmation.

HUD PowerBid does not sign into your HUD account to retrieve private inventory or submit information.

Check the imported property details

After import, review case numbers, location, list price, and other available fields. Correct missing or outdated details before relying on the analysis. Your recommendation is only as useful as the inputs and assumptions.

• Upload the supported inventory file.
• Check the imported property records.
• Select the property for analysis.
• Review valuation and cost assumptions.
• Set the buyer's maximum and review the opening recommendation.

Keep the offer history with the property

Use the selected property record to track the initial bid, counters, revised offers, and outcome. This keeps the working analysis and the decision history together.

Complete all official submission and status checks through the required HUD process. Recording a bid in HUD PowerBid does not send the bid to HUD.

Separate subscriber inventory from model evidence

Your uploaded inventory supports your own property workflow. Public nationwide listing and accepted bid data used for model research serve a different purpose. Treat model evidence as analytical context, not a replacement for the current listing or official messages.
