Every month, in every county of the commonwealth, a sheriff’s sale ­typically takes place where third parties can bid on real estate in that county which is subject to tax or mortgage ­foreclosure proceedings.

These properties are sold in “as is, where is” condition and most bidders are ­generally not given the opportunity before the ­sheriff’s sale occurs to inspect the property beforehand. In doing so, these bidders take an extreme leap of faith in the hopes that any money they save by ­purchasing the foreclosed property through these ­foreclosure proceedings will outweigh the cost of remediating any of the issues with it.
