Some of the Salem County listings we sampled (6 of 15) had already been pushed back at least once, so the date on the list is not always the final date. Homeowners can confirm the current date on the official list and review their options below.
Scheduled sales, not completed ones; the adjournment share comes from a small sample. The county's list is the authority for any single sale.

Since May 19, 2025, Salem County sales have been held at the new Salem County Courthouse, 92 Market Street in Salem. Sales start at 2:00 p.m., and bidders should arrive by 1:45 for fund verification. Deposits are certified checks payable to the Sheriff of Salem County, with no more than $1,000 in cash. An older sheriff's document puts the balance due within 10 days, much shorter than most counties, so confirm it before bidding.
From the county's official sheriff pages, read September 30, 2026. Terms change; confirm with the sheriff's office.
All Salem County bidder rules →
Salem County is New Jersey's smallest docket: rural, riverfront, with the machinery in Salem City and cases scattered from Pennsville to Penns Grove. Low volume means less scam mail farming the records — and also the state's thinnest local infrastructure, so the statewide free layer (the counselor line, LSNJ's hotline, the court's mediation program) does the work that bigger counties' local nonprofits handle. Feeling like the only person in the county this is happening to is common here, and wrong.
Salem is New Jersey's least populous county, so its sale list is short and each sale date carries only a few homes. The sheriff's office asks people to call on sale day to check status. Do the same before your date, and request any adjournment well ahead of it.
Until the auction, and for the short redemption window after it, reinstating, selling the home or a Chapter 13 filing can still change the outcome. Never pay anyone to postpone it for you.
Free statewide options that serve the county: NJ Courts Foreclosure Mediation Program, Legal Services of New Jersey, HUD-Approved Housing Counselors and Navicore Solutions. None of them pays us.
