Mortgage foreclosure
New York mortgage foreclosure goes through court, and a referee conducts the foreclosure sale. The court case, lender payoff, and current notices determine what must happen before a sale can close. The New York Courts explain foreclosure judgments, payoff, referee sales, and requests to stop a sale in their foreclosure guidance.
If the auction has already happened, the before-auction sale option is past; New York law gives no right to buy the house back after the auction.
