Every state we read sheriff sale lists from, with what we hold today. Counts come from the same rollup the county pages read, so nothing on this page can disagree with the page it links to.
Data as of · recomputed after each nightly load
SheriffSaleData covers 16 counties in 2 states, holding 4,016 sheriff sale records that describe 2,931 sales.
Because they foreclose in court, and their sheriffs (or clerks, or master commissioners) publish each sale on a list we can read every night: the address, the case, the parties and the date. In states where a lender forecloses without going to court, the sale is a trustee's sale instead, run by the lender's trustee rather than the sheriff, and is not on these lists. New counties are added as their sheriffs' lists are brought in.
16 counties currently carry at least one sale, and 16 have enough sales for a published page. A county page is published once it holds eight sales upcoming or held in the last 90 days.
Every night. Each sheriff's list is read again in the early morning, loaded, merged and counted, so a sale listed or postponed today is on its county page by tomorrow morning.
A county appears here the morning its first sale is read. County pages are published on a threshold rather than all at once: a page is only worth a reader’s time when it has enough sales to describe a market, so a county enters the index at eight sales upcoming or held in the last 90 days, and leaves only below five. The gap is deliberate — without it, a county near the line would enter and leave the sitemap every time a sale day passed.
The sale calendar lays the same sales out by day, and the methodology says what a sheriff’s list can and cannot tell you.
