Why Most Foreclosure Auctions Happen on Wednesdays?

Timing Is Everything

On Long Island, most foreclosure auctions are scheduled on Wednesdays, typically at local courthouses. Once scheduled, they move fast.

Why Wednesdays?

  • Local court tradition
  • Public notices go out earlier in the week
  • Bidders are conditioned to show up on those days
 

Why This Matters for You?

  • If your auction is set, you know what day to expect
  • You may only have days or a couple of weeks’ left
  • It can help you reverse or delay the auction if you act fast
 

Final Steps Before Auction

  • Request updated payoff figures
  • Talk to an attorney or buyer
  • Consider a fast as-is sale if you still have equity
