As-Is Sales, Occupied Property, Redemption Periods and Quitclaim Deeds in Government Sales (2026)
Every government sale is as-is. Some are occupied. A few carry a redemption period. Most pass by quitclaim or a deed that conveys only the government's interest. These four terms, not the price, decide whether a row on the wire is a bargain or a lawsuit, and all four live on the notice behind OPEN →.
- 142 dated federal sales and 182 undated seizures on the wire as of October 20, 2026; IRS rows (262) carry the 180-day redemption.

As-is and occupied
No repairs, no warranty, inspection only on published dates. Occupied means the buyer evicts after closing under state law. HUD and VA homes are usually vacant; seizures and forfeitures can be occupied.
Redemption
IRS-sold real estate can be redeemed by the former owner for 180 days after the sale by paying the price plus interest. Treasury and Marshals forfeitures carry none. Sheriff and tax sales follow state statutes, outside the free monitor.
Quitclaim and the government's interest
The IRS conveys by quitclaim; forfeiture sellers convey the United States' interest. Neither warrants title; senior liens described in the notice survive. Title insurance may be unavailable for a period, which lenders care about.

as-is sale: questions
Can I get title insurance on an IRS purchase?
Often only after the 180-day redemption period ends; ask a title company before bidding.
Who handles eviction of an occupant?
The buyer, after closing, under state law. Some sellers disclose occupancy; the wire's working file records it when captured.
