Can I Sell My Munster House Before a Sheriff’s Sale?

Yes. If the sheriff’s sale has not happened, you may still have time to sell. Indiana also lets you redeem the property 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 enough. The sale must close and resolve the debt before the sheriff’s sale. Call us with the date in your court papers; we’ll review the payoff and timing with you.

Indiana mortgage foreclosure and the sheriff’s-sale date

Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sheriff’s sale, you may redeem the property — keep it by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on where the case stands. Paying only overdue installments is not enough. If you want to sell, the sale must close and resolve the debt in time. Get the actual payoff and sheriff’s-sale date checked promptly. Indiana Code § 32-29-7-7 and the Indiana Court of Appeals’ Wells Fargo Bank v. Tippecanoe Associates explain the redemption process.

Call us with the date in your court papers. We’ll look at the house, payoff, and time available with you.

A mortgage foreclosure and a property-tax sale have different dates

A mortgage foreclosure is a court case about a home loan and may lead to a Lake County sheriff’s sale. A property-tax sale follows a separate county process for unpaid taxes and has its own notice and date. The postponement statement on this page is about a mortgage sheriff’s sale, not a property-tax sale. If your notice is for unpaid property taxes, follow its date and contact the Lake County Treasurer.

If the payoff is the problem

What happens next

Call or use the form with the house address and sheriff’s-sale date from your court papers. We’ll talk through the house and work with you on the payoff and timing.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

We work with the title company on title and payoff details so the sale can close and resolve the debt before the sheriff’s sale.

Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

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.

Lake County sale and court information
