How these are sold

Sheriff's foreclosure auction (court-ordered sale; the winning bidder receives a Sheriff's deed). Published by Sussex County Sheriff's Office (official sale list).

  1. Check the listing with the Sheriff's Office the week of the sale: many sales are adjourned (postponed) or cancelled when the owner pays.
  2. Bring a deposit to the sale: in New Jersey it is 20% of your bid by certified or cashier's check (the county's Conditions of Sale give the exact rules).
  3. Bid at the Sheriff's sale. The lender usually opens the bidding; the upset amount shown is the lender's estimate of what it is owed, not a fixed price.
  4. Pay the balance within 30 days. The owner can still redeem within 10 days after the sale; then the Sheriff's deed is delivered.
  5. You buy subject to liens, taxes and anyone living there (eviction is a separate court step). Order a title search before you bid.

This is a court-ordered foreclosure auction run by the county Sheriff, not a tax lien sale. The winner gets a Sheriff's deed.

Properties are usually sold as-is, with no inside inspection. Occupied homes need a separate court process to take possession.

Assessed values in New Jersey are set by each town and can differ from market value (each town has its own assessment ratio).

A low minimum bid is not a bargain by itself: liens are usually paid off by the owner (you earn interest, not the property), auctions are bid up, and cheap parcels are often small, landlocked or unbuildable. Read the county's terms and check title before you bid.
