73 sales are scheduled for properties in Newark on the Essex County list as of October 5, 2026, about 39% of the county's 186 scheduled sales.
Across Essex County, 8 of 15 sampled listings had been adjourned at least once, so the date on the list is often not the final date.
Counts are scheduled sheriff sales, not completed sales, for listings whose address on the county list shows “Newark.” Mailing names do not always follow municipal borders. We publish counts only, never names or addresses; the county's own list is the authority for any individual sale.
Newark properties are sold by the Essex County Sheriff, not by the town. The sheriff's office number is (973) 621-4111. All Essex County sheriff sale details
Have a date? Use the sheriff sale countdown to see your days left and how far adjournments can generally move it.
You generally have time to use. New Jersey homeowners can usually request two adjournments of up to 30 days each through the Essex County Sheriff's office. That is often enough to close a sale of the home, finish a reinstatement or loss-mitigation review, or file a properly prepared Chapter 13.
A sale is not always the end. Court rules generally allow 10 days after the sale for objections and redemption, the buyer still needs a court writ of possession, and any money above the judgment is yours to claim. What happens after the sale.
Never pay someone to “postpone” your sale. The request is yours to make, and upfront fees for foreclosure rescue are generally illegal in New Jersey.

Generally yes. Under N.J.S.A. 2A:17-36 a homeowner can request two adjournments of up to 30 days each through the county sheriff’s office, usually for a small fee, and a court can order more for cause. Speak with a licensed New Jersey attorney about your specific case.
