Public Records: Searching for Foreclosures
To search for foreclosure records,
select the Foreclosure option on the Property Search tab.
Use
the fields under Foreclosure Info to search by criteria related to the terms of
the foreclosure.
Check the box next to Only Active Foreclosure Records to remove inactive foreclosures. If you know a defendant’s name or a case number, enter those in the matching fields.
When searching by dates or dollar
amounts, enter a starting and ending value to see properties within a range.
You can also view anything after a specific date or greater than a certain
amount by entering only a starting value. The same thing happens when you only
enter an ending value. You’ll see listings before that date or under that
dollar amount.
You can also search by location
with the options found under Location.
Enter any address information you have about a particular property, or just enter a street name or city to find foreclosures at those locations. You can even search by APN/parcel IDs or a range of them.
Once you’ve entered all the criteria you’re looking for, select the Submit button to go to the search results page. Click the Clear Criteria link to start over.
