You can live in the house 6 months after the Sheriff sale. This is called the redemption period.
Redemption of a Sheriff's Deed after foreclosure is 6 Months from the date of the Sheriff Sale unless: 1) The property is located on 1 acre of land or more 2) The amount owed when the Sheriff Sale takes place is less than 66 & 2/3 percent of the original balance (as in it was payed down a LOT before things got bad and the foreclosure train showed up) If either of the above are true then the redemption period is one year. Also, if the Sheriff's Deed is not recorded within 20 days of the actual sale date, then the 6 months redemption period begins from the date the Sheriff's deed is recorded.
Generally, yes. A sheriff's deed does not convey good title. Generally there is a long period of redemption when property of a debtor is sold by a sheriff. The laws vary in different jurisdictions. The debtor can redeem the property by paying all costs and the underlying debt. You should contact an attorney if you are contemplating the purchase of a seized property.Generally, yes.

When a Property goes into Foreclosure and a Sheriff sale date is posted, or if after the Sheriff sale and is during the redemption period a "Deed in Lieu" is always a possibility. The Mortgage lender must agree to accept this. A"Deed in lieu" is the process in which an owner would be surrendering the title to the lender. Again the Mortgage/lender must agree to this act.

These are the states that do not have redemption period: The five states they list as having no redemption period are: Texas, Georgia, Virginia, DC, and New Hampshire The rest do have different time lines for redemption.
A sheriff's deed is not a perfected legal transfer of real property. The original owner has an equitable right of redemption and the recipient of a sheriff's deed must take further steps to perfect their title to the property. If the original owner gets the property back from the person who purchased at the sheriff's sale the unpaid HOA dues will be waiting for them. Also, the recipient of a sheriff's deed generally requires that the original owner reimburse them for any costs they incurred during their "ownership". That would include taxes, municipal fees and common charges.If the property is retained by the person who purchased it at the sheriff's sale, they will generally pay any outstanding fees, dues and taxes.
There is no redemption period for the state of Virginia. http://www.realtytrac.com/foreclosure-laws/Virginia-foreclosure-laws.asp
In some states, a lender can seek a personal judgment against the debtor regarding the redemption period for foreclosed homes. In Georgia, there is no statutory right of redemption.
The redemption period is the legal time period you have to redeem something that has been taken from you by operation of some law. For example, if your property is taken by your municipality for nonpayment of property taxes there is a period during which you can redeem the land by paying all your back taxes, interest and costs. In some cases there is a redemption period during which a property taken by foreclosure can be redeemed by paying all sums due including the costs of the foreclosure. Redemption periods may vary by jurisdiction. You need to check in your jurisdiction for the particular type of taking and its redemption period according to the laws in your jurisdiction. See related link for state by state information regarding foreclosure redemption periods.
You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your jurisdiction. A person who purchases real property at a sheriff's sale acquires an interest in the property immediately, however, their title may need to be perfectedby a court decree. Also, the debtor may have a right of redemption for a certain period of time.
In a mortgage foreclosure process, the time between the foreclosure filling date and the auction sale is called the "Equity of Redemption Period". Once the home has been sold, most States grant a time period such as six months for the defaulting owner to repay the debt and fees. This is referred to as the "Statutory Period of Redemption".
