Check your county sheriff's official online sale listing, searching by your name or address, and then confirm by phone with the sheriff's office. The date on the listing is usually more current than the date on any letter you received.
Sixteen New Jersey counties post foreclosure sales on the CivilView system, while Mercer, Somerset, Sussex and Warren publish their own lists on county websites. Each listing has a Sales Date field and a status history that records every adjournment, and those are where the current date appears, because the notice text inside a listing is generally not rewritten when a sale moves. If you cannot find your property, the sale may not be scheduled yet, it may be listed under a prior or deceased owner's name, or it may appear only in the finished-sales view.
Our sale date finder and county pages link each sheriff's official list, so you do not have to hunt for it. When you call the sheriff's office, have your court docket number (in foreclosures it generally begins with F) and the sheriff's file number from the listing, and ask two questions: what is the current sale date, and how many homeowner adjournments remain. Write down who you spoke with and when. Then enter the date in the countdown tool to see how many working weeks you have. Mail and calls that start after your listing goes public are not official notices.
