What a sheriff sale is
A sheriff sale is the public auction at the end of a New Jersey foreclosure. In Hudson County, the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office runs it.
The official listings are published by the Sheriff’s Office. A public sales list is also posted as a public service of the Sheriff’s Office. This page is not that calendar. Jose reads the public list and sends the upcoming sales, with his notes.
The office says foreclosure sales are held on Thursdays, twice a month, in Jersey City. Confirm the date, time, and room on the official page before you rely on them. The office says its rules can change at any time.
Town property-tax sales are a different auction. The Sheriff’s Office says it handles county foreclosure sales of real property, and that each town’s tax office auctions property-tax sales.
For buyers and investors
Properties at a Hudson County sheriff sale are usually sold as-is. The Sheriff’s published conditions say each property is sold subject to restrictions of record, unpaid taxes and water or sewer charges, and whatever a survey and a physical inspection would show. Buyers typically do not get an interior walkthrough before the auction. Plan on that.
If you are the high bidder, the Sheriff’s Office currently says you must pay a deposit of at least 20% of the bid, immediately, by certified or cashier’s check. Cash, cards, and personal checks are not accepted. Those same published conditions say the balance is due between the 11th and the 30th day after the sale. Those figures are the Sheriff’s, and the office says they can change. Read the current conditions on the official page before you bid.
Do a title search. Check liens, taxes, and association charges that may survive the sale. Buying at the auction is not a typical closing, with an inspection and a mortgage contingency.
Buying at the auction is different from buying a bank-owned (REO) property afterward. At the auction you bid under the Sheriff’s rules. If the lender wins, the home may come back to market as a bank-owned listing, where a buyer can often inspect and finance. Jose can help with both.

For homeowners and heirs facing a sale
If your home — or a home in the family — has a sheriff sale date, there may still be options before that date. Talk with a New Jersey attorney. Ask the loan servicer whether reinstatement is still open. A sale on the open market, before the auction, is sometimes the calmer path when there is time and a buyer.
The Hudson County Sheriff’s Office points homeowners to free HUD-approved housing counselors. Jose is not a housing counselor, and he does not give legal advice.
What he does: help families sell before the auction when that is the better real-estate path, in English or Spanish.

Frequently asked questions
- Where is the official list of Hudson County sheriff sales?
- The Hudson County Sheriff’s Office publishes the official listings. This page is how you ask Jose for the current upcoming list with his notes. It is not the official calendar. Confirm any date on the Sheriff’s website before you rely on it.
- Can I walk through the house before I bid?
- Usually, no. Plan on an as-is purchase without an interior inspection. The Sheriff’s published conditions say each property is sold subject to restrictions of record, unpaid taxes and charges, and what a survey or physical inspection would show. Do a title search and check for liens before you bid.
- What does a winning bidder have to bring?
- The Hudson County Sheriff’s Office currently says a successful bidder must pay a deposit of at least 20% of the bid immediately, by certified or cashier’s check — not cash, a card, or a personal check — and pay the balance between the 11th and the 30th day after the sale. The office says its rules can change. Read the current conditions on the official page. This is not legal or financial advice.
- A sale date is on the notice. Is it too late to sell another way?
- Not always. Before the sale there may still be options: talk with a New Jersey attorney, ask the loan servicer about reinstatement, or sell on the open market if there is time. Jose helps families sell before the auction when that is the better path, in English or Spanish. He is a real estate salesperson, not an attorney.
- Is a sheriff sale the same as a bank-owned home?
- No. The sheriff sale is the public auction at the end of the foreclosure. If the lender is the high bidder, the home may later be listed as bank-owned (REO). That later sale is different: a buyer can often inspect and use financing. Jose can help with both.
