HUD-approved housing counseling
Hudson has HUD-approved agencies, but HUD lists none of them for mortgage delinquency counseling (they focus on renting and buying). Call HUD's line, 800-569-4287, to be matched with one that handles foreclosure.
Statewide, also free: the NJ Courts Foreclosure Mediation Program and HUD's counselor line, 800-569-4287. None of these organizations pays us. Checked October 5, 2026; call ahead, as offices and hours change.
Hudson County sheriff sales: the official list and how sale day works →
The market reality: Hudson demand is relentless. Proximity to Manhattan keeps buyers circling Jersey City, Hoboken, and the Palisades towns in nearly any market, and condos and multi-families alike move at realistic prices. For a homeowner in default that is genuine leverage — a sale before the auction is a real option here, not a theoretical one — but the same demand makes Hudson a magnet for aggressive investors and wholesale contracts, so treat every unsolicited offer as an opening bid, never a verdict. Get competing offers and run the net-proceeds math before signing anything.
73 were on the official list as of Nov 2, 2026, with the next sale date on Nov 5, 2026. The most listings were in Jersey City (41), Bayonne (11), North Bergen (5). Our county sheriff sale page has the official list and how sale day works.
