The sale, in numbers

The published list opened at 74 properties; 14 have already been withdrawn, redeemed or sold out, leaving 60 live for the November 9 sale. Combined amounts owed come to $712,540. The median parcel sits at $3,908; the list runs from $1,850 up to $83,739. Those figures are the county's published numbers, exactly as released — the starting point for bidding math, never a statement of what a property is worth. On our 100-point screen, 60 of the 60 properties score 70 or higher — the sort order to start from before sale day.

How this Washington sale works

Washington is a judicial foreclosure state: the county treasurer files in superior court, and the sale conveys a deed — there is no post-sale redemption period. The owner's last chance to redeem is the close of business on the day before the sale (RCW 84.64). For buyers that cuts both ways: what you win is yours without a year of redemption risk, and precisely because of that, the homework has to happen before you bid, not after. The minimum bid covers the taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs owed.

Before Monday: how to work this list

Start from the full list on the Pierce County page linked below and work it down to a bid list before sale day: screen for the areas and property types you actually buy, verify each finalist against county records, and confirm registration, deposit and payment rules on Bid4Assets well before November 9. The sale is in 5 days; the buyers who win it are the ones who did the sorting in advance, not the ones scrolling on sale day. The score sort is the fastest first pass — 60 properties clear 70 on our screen.

Questions

Is the amount owed the price of the property?
No. The published amount is the delinquent taxes, interest and costs owed on the parcel. It is where the bidding math starts — it says nothing about the property's market value.

Can the owner redeem after a Washington foreclosure sale?
Not after the sale. Under RCW 84.64 the owner may redeem until close of business on the day before the foreclosure sale; after the sale there is no redemption period (narrow exceptions exist for minors and legally incompetent persons).
