AUCTION on the Wire vs Foreclosure Auction, Sheriff Sale and Trustee Sale on Auction.com and Zillow (2026)
Auction.com, Zillow and the county clerks all say auction for sales under different law. The wire's AUCTION type is narrower: a dated sale by a federal seller. Sheriff sales enforce judgments, trustee sales enforce deeds of trust, and bidding one with the rules of another is how deposits are lost.
- 142 federal AUCTION rows on the wire as of October 20, 2026: 16 ahead, 126 past.

Federal AUCTION
IRS: minimum bid, quitclaim, 180-day redemption. Treasury and Marshals: forfeiture sales with no redemption. GSA: surplus by online auction or sealed bid.
Sheriff, trustee and tax deed
Judicial sales with state redemption; non-judicial trustee sales, fast and final; tax-deed sales that wipe junior liens but not federal ones. On DLRadar these are on the live board and in the working file.
Why the wire separates them
Because a blended calendar hides the rule that decides the risk.
