If your home is on a Cumberland County sheriff sale list, you still have time to look at your options. Here is how the sale works, in plain words.
When and where sales happen
- Cumberland County holds regular sheriff sales 4 times a year, in March, June, September and December, at 10:00 AM in the Cumberland County Courthouse in Carlisle.
- There is also a monthly continuance sale for sales that were moved.
- The county posts each sale online for three Fridays in a row, the first about 30 days before the sale. See the sale schedule and sale list.
Buyers can't look inside
Homes are sold sight unseen. Bidders are not allowed to inspect them before the sale.
Can a sale be postponed or stopped?
Sales can be moved to a later date, which is what the monthly continuance sale is for. Whether a sale can be stopped depends on your case. Talk to an attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor as early as you can.
