How sheriff sales work in Cape May County
New Jersey foreclosures go through Superior Court. After a final judgment, the Cape May County Sheriff advertises the sale for four weeks and auctions the property. The borrower and the lender can each adjourn a sale, so many dates move.
The winning bidder usually pays a 20% deposit at the sale and the balance within 30 days. The owner can still redeem during the 10-day objection period after the sale.
Our New Jersey data comes from the sheriff's published sale listing. Listings change often; more coming.
This is general information, not legal, financial or investment advice. Talk to a New Jersey real-estate attorney before you bid.
