Where can I find foreclosures auctions?

UX Search lists 19 auction sites for foreclosures, including HUD Home Store, HomePath, HomeSteps, Hubzu, and searches the government and public-surplus platforms itself.

Who can bid on foreclosures auctions?

Most of these sites are open to the public; bidding usually takes a free account on the auction site, and some sales ask for a card on file or a deposit. Bidding, payment and pickup happen on the site that runs the sale, under its own terms.

What should I check before bidding on foreclosures?

Read the terms of sale. Real estate auctions differ on deposits, closing deadlines, buyer’s premiums and whether the seller can reject the high bid. Do your homework first. Check the title, liens, taxes, zoning and the property’s condition before the sale. Many are sold as-is.

Before you bid

Read the terms of sale. Real estate auctions differ on deposits, closing deadlines, buyer’s premiums and whether the seller can reject the high bid.
Do your homework first. Check the title, liens, taxes, zoning and the property’s condition before the sale. Many are sold as-is.
Line up your money. Most auctions want a deposit at the sale and the balance within a set number of days. Cash or pre-approved financing helps.
Talk to a professional. A real estate attorney or agent can review the sale terms with you before you bid.
