Find sheriff sales before sale day.

A sheriff sale is a public auction at which the county sheriff sells real property under a court order, most often to satisfy a mortgage foreclosure judgment. In states where foreclosure goes through the courts, the lender sues, wins a judgment, and the court orders the property sold; the sheriff (or a clerk or master commissioner in some states) advertises the sale and auctions it to the highest bidder.

From the sale lists the sheriffs, clerks and master commissioners publish themselves, read every night across 2 states. We hold 4,016 sale records describing 2,931 sales in 16 counties.

Because either side can stop the clock. A homeowner can file for bankruptcy, pay off the judgment or ask for an adjournment; a lender often adjourns its own sale while it reviews a loan modification or a short sale. 1,614 of the upcoming sales we hold have been postponed at least once, and every record keeps the sheriff's dates so you can see how often.

Nothing, during early access. A free account opens everything — the opening bid, judgment, plaintiff, defendant, case and postponement history on every sale, saved-search alerts and CSV export. When paid plans start, the first 30 accounts pay $19 a month for their first 3 months. Every page's counts, and the address and date of its soonest five sales, are public.

Sheriff and court-ordered foreclosure sales in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with more counties added as their sheriffs' lists are brought in. Each state has its own page, county by county.

Yes, often, up to the moment it is held: postponed, stayed by a bankruptcy filing, or cancelled when the judgment is paid. We read every list again each night, so the record shows the sheriff's latest status, but confirm with the sheriff's office on the morning of the sale.
