Foreclosures at government auction in Illinois come from the same places they do everywhere: agencies replacing them on a schedule, departments closing or consolidating, and property seized or abandoned and sold by the county. The seller's name is on every listing, the photos show the condition, and most sales are pickup only at the location listed, so the distance to Chicago is part of the price. Our read the terms of sale tip applies here as much as anywhere: Real estate auctions differ on deposits, closing deadlines, buyer’s premiums and whether the seller can reject the high bid.
