One of the hottest questions right now with the foreclosure rate being so high is how can I find a home from a sheriffs sale. Many County Sheriff Departments will have available homes for sheriffs sale available online. Most local newspapers generally have a certain day that they will publicly announce in their newspaper the dates and addresses of homes that will be sold via sheriffs sale.
Now, If your home is in foreclosure and a sherrif's sale has been scheduled, you still may be able to save your home if your first mortgage balance is less than 70% of the value of your home. In many cases, your sherrif sale date can be postponed while you refinance to cure the foreclosure.
