Decatur, IN · Adams County · Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Decatur House in Foreclosure?
Yes. You may still have time to sell before the sheriff's sale if the sale can close and resolve the debt in time. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sale, an owner can redeem by paying the full judgment, interest and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage of the case. Paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. Check the actual payoff and sale date promptly.

Mortgage foreclosure and property-tax sale are different
This page is about mortgage foreclosure. In Indiana, a mortgage foreclosure goes through court. Before the sheriff's sale, an owner can redeem by paying the full judgment, interest and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage; paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. The case papers and actual sale date matter.
A property-tax sale is separate and has its own notices and deadlines. Keep those dates separate from the mortgage case. Follow the tax notice and contact the county office handling property-tax questions if both matters affect the house.
If the payoff is the problem
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Ask the lender for a current payoff statement. We can review the amount with the title details and written sale terms to see what closing would need to address.
What happens next
- Call or send the Decatur property address and share the notice or sale date you have.
- Review our written cash offer and written terms before you decide whether to commit.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company reviews title, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and the closing figures.
- Confirm any mortgage or tax-sale date with the official contact handling that matter.
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those are separate from closing costs.
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.

Foreclosure questions from Decatur homeowners
Can I sell my Decatur house before an Indiana sheriff's sale?
Yes. You may still have time before the sheriff's sale, but a sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sale, an owner can redeem by paying the full judgment, interest and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage of the case. Paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. Check the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date promptly.
If a sheriff's sale is scheduled, what should I do?
If a sheriff's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Is an Indiana mortgage foreclosure the same as a property-tax sale?
No. A mortgage foreclosure concerns the home loan and goes through court. A property-tax sale is a separate matter with its own notices and deadlines. Do not use a mortgage-case date to work out a tax-sale deadline; follow the notice for that tax matter and contact the county office handling property-tax questions.
What if the mortgage payoff is more than my Decatur house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. Ask the lender for a current payoff so the amount can be reviewed with the title and sale terms. A reduction for a particular sale is not promised.
Do I need to pay back taxes or liens before selling to you?
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront. Your mortgage balance and share of current property taxes are separate.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
We review the house and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company works through title, payoff, and closing details with you. The actual sale date and property-specific requirements still matter.
