How sheriff sales work in Lake County
Indiana foreclosures go through court. After the decree, the Lake County Sheriff advertises the sale three times and sells the property at public auction. Many listed sales are cancelled or continued before the date.
The winning bidder usually pays the full bid at the sale, and there is generally no redemption period afterward.
Our Indiana data comes from the sheriff's published sale list. Listings change often; more coming.

How does an Indiana foreclosure reach a sheriff sale?
Indiana foreclosures are judicial. The lender files in court and gets a foreclosure decree, then the sheriff advertises the sale in a newspaper three times, with the sale at least 30 days after the first notice (IC 32-29-7-3).
Can the former owner get the property back after the sale?
Generally no. In Indiana the owner can redeem by paying what is owed up until the sale, but there is usually no redemption period after it. Winning bidders typically pay the full bid at the sale, and Indiana requires a bidder affidavit.
