How to Calculate How Much Time You Have Left?

What Date Really Matters?

Most homeowners focus on the Lis Pendens date — but the true countdown starts when a judgment is entered.

Typical Timeline

  • Lis Pendens filed → 3–6 months until court
  • Judgment entered → Auction scheduled in 30–90 days
  • Auction held → New deed issued within 1–2 weeks

How to Find Out Where You Are

  • Check eCourts (New York’s case lookup)
  • Ask your lender for a status letter
  • Call the county clerk for auction schedules
