Las Cruces, NM Foreclosure
Can I sell my Las Cruces house in foreclosure?
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
New Mexico mortgage foreclosures go through district court. You may still be able to sell before the court-ordered sale if closing pays the mortgage and resolves the other claims against the house. The sale date matters: a court-ordered sale can change what you own and how much time remains. New Mexico has a separate right to redeem after a judicial sale, but a mortgage can shorten that period substantially. Selling first may help protect any equity you have.

How we help you work toward closing
We review the house as-is, the payoff information, and the timing in your notice. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company. If you choose to move forward, we work with the title company on title, payoff, and other closing details.
A possible sale depends on whether the required payoff and other claims can be addressed and the closing can happen before the court-ordered sale. Keep checking your notice and court information for the current date.
Mortgage foreclosure or property-tax sale?
A mortgage foreclosure concerns the home loan and goes through district court. A property-tax sale is a separate process with its own notice and deadlines. This page covers mortgage foreclosure; do not use a mortgage-case date to work out a property-tax deadline. Follow the tax notice and contact the office named there.
The Doña Ana County Treasurer's Office provides property-tax search, collection, and delinquent-tax information. Use it for county tax-account questions; the mortgage and tax-sale deadlines remain separate.
What a court-ordered sale can change
New Mexico has a separate right to redeem after a judicial sale, but a mortgage can substantially shorten that period. Do not assume the same amount of time applies to every property. Read the mortgage and court papers and get advice about the dates that apply to your case (NMSA §§39-5-18 and 39-5-19).
Read the New Mexico Supreme Court's redemption handout and the New Mexico Court of Appeals decision about mortgage terms shortening redemption.
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.
A current payoff statement and title review help show the amounts that would need to be addressed at closing. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.
What happens next
- Call or send the property address and the notice or case information you have.
- We review the house and give you written offer terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company reviews title, mortgage payoff, liens, and other amounts and coordinates the closing steps.
- When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts reviewed for the closing.
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.
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.
