Foreclosure Auction & Tax Lien Sale Watch

Why this is recommended

A HUD home with a two-week owner-occupant window before investors can bid, a tax deed sale with a redemption rule most bidders misread, or a surplus fund claim worth $30,000 to a former owner are each worth far more than the membership.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

Buyers looking below market, investors building a rental and the homeowners who need to know a sale can still be stopped.

When it runs

Counties post sale lists at the start of the week and most auctions run Tuesday to Thursday

Scope

Tax lien and tax deed sale dates, rules, interest rates and redemption periods for the 100 largest counties, named by county and state; sheriff and trustee foreclosure auction schedules and rule changes for the 50 largest counties; HUD HomeStore, Fannie Mae HomePath, Freddie Mac HomeSteps and VA Vendee listing programs and owner-occupant priority windows; surplus and excess proceeds claim rules; Auction.com, Hubzu, Xome, RealAuction and GovEase fee and bidding changes; foreclosure moratoriums and homeowner protections; FHA and VA loss mitigation deadlines

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

County tax lien and tax deed sale dates and rules, sheriff and trustee foreclosure auction schedules in the 50 largest counties, HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and VA owned-home listing programs with owner-occupant windows, redemption period and surplus fund rules, auction platform fee and bidding changes, foreclosure moratoriums and the homeowner-side protections that pause a sale, with the county, agency or platform first.

Track distressed property sales in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: tax lien and tax deed sale dates, registration deadlines, rule changes, interest rates and redemption periods for the 100 largest counties; sheriff and trustee foreclosure auction schedule and procedure changes in the 50 largest counties; HUD HomeStore, Fannie Mae HomePath, Freddie Mac HomeSteps and VA Vendee program changes and owner-occupant priority windows; surplus and excess proceeds claim rule changes and deadlines; fee, deposit and bidding rule changes at Auction.com, Hubzu, Xome, RealAuction and GovEase; foreclosure moratoriums and homeowner protections that pause sales; and FHA and VA loss mitigation program deadlines. Prefer county treasurers and sheriffs, HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, VA, platform rule pages, state legislatures and established housing reporting; ignore guru courses and wholesaler marketing. Put the county, agency or platform first in the title with the date. Use high severity for a sale registration deadline within 14 days in a county over one million people, an owner-occupant window, or a moratorium taking effect. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what is happening, the rules, how to participate or claim, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
