I still don't know if the house we have a bank accepted offer on went to auction last week. The county offices were closed Friday--D.C. area here--the scheduled day of auction. I had to wait till today to call and they told me they would only have notice when the house is sold after the auction--through transfer of deed. So, I haven't found out if the house did go through foreclosure.

My realtor and the seller's realtor say they don't know who to contact to find out anything.I knew we were in for a bumpy ride, but just think there has to be a way to find out if the banks let go of our contract and let the house go to it's scheduled foreclosure. I don't want to assume they didn't. I will only go on concrete info at this point. Any ideas?
You will know for sure when the deed is recorded. If you county offers on-line viewing of deeds you can check on-line. If not, you can call or stop by to see if the deed has been recorded.

It should be recorded quickly unless the homeowners filed for bankruptcy. If they filed, there is an automatic stay on any foreclosure proceeding until a judge releases the house which may take a few weeks to a few months.

Default Argh.

The woman that I spoke to told me if usually takes weeks to get a deed recorded after a foreclosure. Is this a state by state thing?

A house that I was following took over 2 weeks to be shown up online in the public records.

Are you sure you want to buy the house at an auction...in a short sale you can get a clean title, which can be different in an auction!
