NYC Foreclosure Auction Radar — May 29, 2026

Coverage window: May 28, 2026 14:28 UTC → May 29, 2026 14:00 UTC (~23.5 hours, normal daily cycle). Infrastructure note: Google/Serper search APIs restored on Day 4 after a three-day outage (May 25–28). Auction.com direct-URL fetches remain reliable. ServiceLink property-detail pages remain inaccessible (JavaScript rendering). NYC DOF portal, Zillow/StreetEasy (PerimeterX), and ACRIS also remain blocked. Estimated cycle coverage: ~72%.

Glossary: OB = opening bid; EMV = estimated market value (composite of available AVM sources — treat as approximation); REO = Real Estate Owned (bank-owned property); CWCOT = Claims Without Conveyance of Title (HUD/FHA program under which ServiceLink lists most properties); First Look = Auction.com program restricting early bidding to owner-occupants and approved nonprofits; EMD = Earnest Money Deposit. NYC tax lien sales remain paused through approximately October 24, 2026 — all active listings below are mortgage or HOA foreclosures only.

Today's cycle surfaces 4 new Auction.com REO Bank Owned listings + 1 relist confirmed (820 Edison Ave, Bronx — now REO after its 4th inferred no-bid), 5 ServiceLink CWCOT properties relisted for May 31 after a clean sweep of failures on May 26, and 4 watchlist state changes — including 167 E 61st St's first disclosure of a $4,297/month HOA, a figure that materially reshapes its cost of ownership. The cleanest new entry with a Cotality-confirmed EMV is 548 E 87th St #1, Brooklyn, at a nominal 59.1% below its $488,886 EMV on a $200,000 opening bid.

New listings — May 29, 2026

Three brand-new Bank Owned REO listings appeared on Auction.com this cycle, all with online auctions running June 2–4. Two additional in-person foreclosure sales are listed for June 25. All five are new to the pipeline. One relist — 820 Edison Ave — carries a prominent do-not-bid flag.

548 E 87th St #1, Brooklyn (Canarsie) — 59.1% nominal discount, Cotality EMV confirmed

Address: 548 East 87th Street #1, Brooklyn, NY 11236 (Canarsie)
Type: Condominium, 3 bed / 2 bath, 1,387 sq ft, built 2014
Opening bid: $200,000
EMV: $488,886 (Cotality, sourced by Auction.com) 1
Nominal discount at OB: 59.1% ($288,886 below EMV)
Auction: June 2–4, 2026 (online, via Auction.com)
Payment: Cash only; EMD 5% or $2,500 (whichever greater)
Deed: Quitclaim Deed or Special Warranty Deed; buyer pays title insurance
HOA: $350/month
Listing views: 5,255

This is the most straightforward new entry in today's cycle. The EMV is sourced directly from Cotality (a major AVM provider), which gives it more weight than a single MLS estimate or a Zestimate snippet. A 2014-built condo in Canarsie at $200K opening bid, with a $350/month HOA that is well within normal range, represents a credibly priced entry point. 1

Risk flags to verify before bidding:

Delinquent HOA/COA assessments: The listing notes that any delinquent condo association assessments are paid per the purchase agreement. Confirm the outstanding HOA balance via the managing agent or the condo association directly before bidding — this is not capped in the listing and can run into tens of thousands.
Lien search via ACRIS: Confirm no subordinate liens (mechanic's liens, judgment liens) survived the foreclosure.
Occupancy: Status not disclosed. Canarsie condos in bank-owned inventory can be vacant or tenant-occupied; verify before the auction date.
Title insurance: Buyer pays — budget accordingly.

At 5,255 views, this listing has attracted meaningful attention. Expect competitive bidding above the $200K floor.

820 Edison Ave, Bronx (Country Club) ⛔ — relisted as REO, 61.6% nominal discount

Address: 820 Edison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465 (Country Club neighborhood)
Type: Single-family home, 4 bed / 1.5 bath, 1,844 sq ft, built 1920
Opening bid: $325,000 (new ID #2082512; prior ID #1702986 was reassigned)
EMV: $847,463 (Cotality); supporting estimates: Zillow $879,800, Realtor.com $832,700 2 3
Nominal discount at OB: 61.6% ($522,463 below Cotality EMV)
Previous credit bid (foreclosure format): $837,271 — now restructured as Bank Owned REO at $325,000
Last market sale: $750,000 on June 28, 2022 3
Auction: June 2–4, 2026 (online)
Payment: Cash only; EMD 5% or $2,500

⛔ This is the same property that channel tracking has flagged across at least 4 consecutive no-bid cycles. The shift from a foreclosure-format listing (credit bid $837,271) to a Bank Owned REO listing (opening bid $325,000) means the lender has taken title — the foreclosure concluded without a third-party buyer. The new REO format at a dramatically lower opening bid is an effort to clear the asset. 2

The pattern of 4+ consecutive failed auctions at an address where AVM consensus is above $830K is a structural signal, not a pricing opportunity. Repeated REO auction failures on a property that should theoretically attract bidders at 60%+ off typically indicate at least one of: an unresolved superior lien surviving the foreclosure, a title defect requiring quiet title action, documented structural damage, or an entrenched occupancy dispute. The EMD is non-refundable if the buyer cannot close. Do not bid until an ACRIS title search and, if possible, a structural inspection confirm the root cause of prior failures.

411 Madison St, Brooklyn (Bed-Stuy) — 8-bedroom REO, ~40–47% estimated discount

Address: 411 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221 (Bedford-Stuyvesant)
Type: Single-family home, 8 bed / 4 bath, 3,420 sq ft, built 1931
Opening bid: $875,550 4
EMV: Not available from Auction.com (no Cotality estimate provided); external estimates: Realtor.com $1,654,000 5, Redfin ~$1,470,000, Trulia $2,365,600 (likely inflated — treat with caution)
Estimated discount range at OB: ~40–47% against the $1.47M–$1.65M range
Last sale: $200,000 on October 28, 2014 — substantial appreciation since, but also potential deferred maintenance over 12 years of changing ownership
Auction: June 2–4, 2026 (online)
Payment: Cash only; EMD 5% or $2,500; Special Warranty Deed or Quitclaim Deed
Listing views: 9,995 — the highest of any listing in this cycle

The lack of an Auction.com EMV (no Cotality figure) is the central uncertainty here. The valuation spread is wide: $1.47M–$2.37M across external sources. Realtor.com's $1,654,000 and Redfin's ~$1,470,000 are the more credible anchors; Trulia's $2.37M appears to be an outlier and should be discounted. At ~$875K opening bid against a $1.47M–$1.65M range, the nominal discount is meaningful — but without a confirmed block/lot number or a DOF assessed value, the discount cannot be independently verified. 4

An 8-bedroom, 4-bath footprint in Bed-Stuy at 3,420 sq ft is most likely a multi-family configuration sold under single-family records — common in the neighborhood. Verify actual zoning and C of O classification at the NYC Buildings Department before bidding. At 9,995 views this is by far the most-watched listing this cycle; competitive bidding is likely to push the final price well above the $875.5K floor.

195 Willoughby Ave, Brooklyn (Clinton Hill) — pre-foreclosure, Coming Soon

Address: 195 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205 (Clinton Hill / Willoughby Walk building)
Type: Condominium, unit number not disclosed; beds/baths/sqft not available
Case number: 10232024.6348
Opening bid: Not disclosed (in-person auction; credit bid set by court-appointed referee)
EMV: Not available
Auction: Thursday, June 25, 2026; time and location TBD
Payment: 10% deposit after sale via certified funds (cashier's checks) payable to referee 6
Listing views: 296

This listing is at the Coming Soon stage with almost no actionable data: the specific unit number within the Willoughby Walk building is not identified, and beds, baths, and square footage are all listed as unknown. Willoughby Walk units generally trade in the $599K (1BR) to $1M+ (2BR) range in the 11205 zip code. Conventional financing is not available; all-cash purchase required. 6

Actionable step: Run an ACRIS lookup on case number 10232024.6348 to identify the plaintiff and the specific unit. The June 25 date gives approximately 4 weeks to gather data. Check back as the listing typically populates unit details 2–3 weeks before auction.

389 Cornelia Ave, Staten Island (Eltingville) — in-person courthouse auction, Jun 25

Address: 389 Cornelia Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10312
Type: Single-family home, 6 bed / 4 bath, 4,550 sq ft, built 1995
Case number: 3302021.487
Opening bid: Not disclosed (in-person; credit bid set by plaintiff's attorney)
EMV: Zillow Zestimate $1,445,700 7; PropertyShark assessed value $101,820 (annual tax $12,797) — the DOF assessed figure is a tax assessment, not a market value
Auction venue: Richmond County Supreme Courthouse, Room 112, 18 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301 — June 25, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT (in-person) 8
Payment: 10% deposit immediately after sale via certified funds payable to referee
Listing views: 48 (very low for a 4,550 sq ft property)

A 6-bedroom, 4-bath home at 4,550 sq ft built in 1995 on a 0.14-acre lot in Eltingville is a genuinely large Staten Island property. The Zillow Zestimate of $1,445,700 is reasonable for the size and location. The low listing ID (#2040555) and 48 views signal this property has been on Auction.com for some time without attracting buyer attention — worth investigating why. 8

No opening bid is posted; the plaintiff's attorney will announce the credit bid at the courthouse. Bring certified funds for the 10% deposit. Conventional financing is not available. Run an ACRIS search on case 3302021.487 before attending to confirm the lien structure and outstanding judgment amount.

Watchlist — state changes today

Four tracked properties showed material updates between the May 28 and May 29 cycles.

167 E 61st St Apt 28E, Manhattan (Lenox Hill) ⚠️ — HOA $4,297/month first disclosed, auction May 31

The monthly HOA dues for this Upper East Side co-op unit — previously unlisted — were published on the Auction.com listing today at $4,297.10/month ($51,565/year). 9 This figure is material. At an $782,500 opening bid plus $51,565/year in carrying costs, total ownership cost over a 5-year hold — excluding taxes, insurance, and any underlying mortgage on the shares — would exceed $1.04M before the property is resold. The co-op's underlying mortgage (the building's own blanket mortgage) typically adds additional monthly carrying on top of the maintenance fee.

The auction opens May 31 — roughly 2 days from publication. That timeline leaves almost no room to: verify the proprietary lease terms, confirm whether the board has waived its right of first refusal for REO dispositions, or review the building's financials.

Upside scenario: If the board approval is streamlined for bank-owned sales (some co-ops have expedited processes for this), and if the buyer is a cash buyer who can absorb $4,300/month in maintenance, the 46–51% nominal discount against a $1.44M–$1.61M range still leaves room. The MAY 31 timeline makes this very high-risk without pre-existing building familiarity. Do not bid without confirming co-op transfer protocol directly with the managing agent before the auction opens.

420 E 72nd St Apt 16E, Manhattan (Lenox Hill) ⚠️ — EMV now $452,249, auction confirmed June 14

The Cotality-sourced EMV for this co-op unit appeared on the Auction.com listing page for the first time today: $452,249. 10 At the $175,000 opening bid, the nominal discount against that EMV is 61.3%.

Additional data points from this cycle: Zillow Zestimate $660,800 (range $595K–$747K); comparable unit in the same building (Apt 17F) sold at $665,000 (MLS #S1793036); nearby 345 E 69th St Apt 16E closed at $635,000; current MLS listing for this unit at $450,000 (MLS #881250, Realtor.com). 11

The MLS listing at $450,000 is probably the most relevant value anchor: it reflects the actual leasehold trading market. The Cotality EMV of $452,249 happens to align closely with this MLS price. The Zestimate of $660,800 may reflect nearby fee-simple comparables and should not be used directly for a leasehold unit.

⚠️ Leasehold caveat carries forward: This property conveys leasehold interest only — not fee simple. Conventional mortgage financing is unavailable for most leasehold co-ops. The June 14 auction date gives approximately 16 days to pull the ground lease, confirm its remaining term, and get a legal opinion. At $175K opening bid vs. a $450K leasehold market reference, there is potential upside for an all-cash buyer who has done that legwork.

831 Jennings St, Bronx (Crotona Park East) — bidding cycle reset, opens ~June 1

831 Jennings Street's active bidding period closed between May 28 and May 29 without a confirmed sale. The listing has reset to a pre-auction countdown of approximately June 1 at the same opening bid of $275,000. 12 (A duplicate listing ID #2081802 exists; both reference the same property at identical terms.)

831 Jennings Street, Bronx — single-family home exterior, Bank Owned, OB $275K — 831 Jennings St, Bronx — 5bd/2ba, 2,020 sq ft, built 1901; opening bid $275,000 reset for ~June 1 auction. 12

The property is a 5-bed/2-bath single-family home at 2,020 sq ft, built 1901, with a prior RealtyTrac EMV of $619,182. At $275K OB that represents a ~55.6% nominal discount — and unlike several other tracked properties, this one has a third-party AVM reference rather than only an internal Auction.com estimate. 12 View count has grown to 3,918 — solid interest in the Bronx investor community. The cycle reset does not by itself indicate a structural problem; reserve-not-met outcomes on the first cycle are routine. This remains one of the more substantiated discount entries in the active pipeline.

1334 Pacific St, Brooklyn (Crown Heights) — OB confirmed $800,000, "Price Reduced" badge

Opening bid for 1334 Pacific Street appeared on the Auction.com listing today for the first time: $800,000, with a "Price Reduced" badge. 13 The property is a 6-bed/3-bath multi-unit building at 3,200 sq ft, built 1931 in Crown Heights. DOF assessed value from prior cycles: $1,477,000; MLS listing: $1,650,000 (MLS #990385). 13 At $800K OB vs. the $1.47M–$1.65M range, the nominal discount is approximately 45–52%. Auction countdown shows approximately June 1.

The "Price Reduced" badge is not meaningful as a standalone signal for an REO auction — it typically reflects that the bank lowered the reserve or opening bid at some prior point, not that the OB was just cut today. Still, the $800K opening bid is substantially below both the DOF assessment and the MLS ask for a 3,200 sq ft Crown Heights multi-family; combined with the building's 1931 construction, a structural inspection and a full ACRIS title search are the priority steps before June 1.

Unchanged watchlist properties: No material changes today for 625 Lenox Rd ($275K OB), 209 E 2nd St #6 ($900K OB), 255-31 149th Rd ($477.5K OB, First Look), 451 E 49th St ($350K OB), 440 Blake Ave ($475K OB), 57 Harbour Ct ($300K OB, First Look), or 1444 Edwards Ave (in-person Jun 22, EMV $905,430).

ServiceLink CWCOT — May 31 relists

All five properties that closed on ServiceLink on May 26, 2026 failed to sell. None drew a qualifying bid above the reserve. They have been relisted with new auction windows starting May 31. 14

Address	Borough	Starting bid (May 31)	Notes
1280 E 100th St	Brooklyn (Canarsie)	$408,000	Reduced from ~$510,000 CB at May 26 close 15
1568 Rockaway Pkwy	Brooklyn (Canarsie)	$230,000	Unchanged from revised SB; prior CB was $430,000 14
266 Jamaica Ave	Brooklyn (East New York)	~$355,000	Status: Duplex, Occupied, 4bd/2ba/1,458 sq ft; re-listing on May 31 page 14
110-34 166th St	Queens (Jamaica)	$292,000	No change from prior starting bid 14
1414 Putnam Ave	Brooklyn (Bushwick)	Unconfirmed	Re-listing status unclear — ServiceLink JS pages inaccessible; Zillow/StreetEasy show "Auction" status without price 14

Note on 1280 E 100th St: the reduction from $510,000 to $408,000 is a significant price cut — roughly 20% — and brings it closer to a range where bidding may resume. CWCOT properties convey without lender-issued title insurance; independent title search is mandatory before bidding on any of these. ServiceLink detail pages remain inaccessible via direct fetch; verify all figures on the live ServiceLink platform before placing any bid.

Court notices — upcoming and recent foreclosure sales

Three additional foreclosure proceedings appeared in court records this cycle. These are not listed on Auction.com and typically require direct courthouse attendance or coordination with the referee.

200/210 East 65th Street, Unit 21K, Manhattan (Lenox Hill) — In-person foreclosure sale scheduled for June 16, 2026 at 2:15 PM. Judgment amount approximately $781,965.98 (case #850399/2023, published May 14, 2026). 16 Location and referee details not yet published. Lenox Hill co-op and condo units in this building have traded widely depending on size; run ACRIS on case #850399/2023 for the specific unit and lien details.

72 Somers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233 — In-person auction was scheduled for May 28, 2026 at 2:30 PM at Kings County Supreme Court, via Davidson Fink LLP (Referee: M. Randolph Jackson, Esq.). 17 This auction has likely already occurred as of publication; outcome unknown. If bidding was unsuccessful, a relist at a lower credit bid is possible in a subsequent cycle.

138-42 76th Avenue, Flushing, Queens — Auction occurred May 22, 2026 at 10:00 AM. Judgment amount approximately $1,479,131.59 (notice published May 15, 2026). 18 Outcome unknown — no sale price found in this cycle. If unsold, next relist window will be several weeks out.

Due diligence checklist

Before bidding on any listing in this report:

Confirm live data on the source platform: Opening bids, deposit requirements, auction timing, buyer's premium, and deed type change without notice. This report reflects a point-in-time snapshot as of approximately 22:00 CST on May 29, 2026. Verify all fields on the live Auction.com or ServiceLink listing immediately before placing a bid.
ACRIS (acris.nyc.gov): Free search by address. Pull all recorded deeds, mortgages, and liens. Required for every NYC auction.
NYSCEF (iapps.courts.state.ny.us): Search by case/index number. Confirms plaintiff identity, judgment amount, and whether a judgment of foreclosure and sale has been entered — which determines lien priority.
NYC Buildings Department (buildinginfo.nyc.gov): Verify Certificate of Occupancy, zoning classification, and open violation records. Particularly important for multi-family conversions (e.g., 411 Madison St).
DOF assessed value (nyc.gov/finance): Pull the BBL for any property without a confirmed EMV once the portal is accessible again. Several listings in this cycle lack an independent value anchor.
FEMA Flood Map (msc.fema.gov): For any coastal or low-lying property — specifically 57 Harbour Ct (south shore Staten Island), 255-31 149th Rd (southeast Queens), and 1444 Edwards Ave.

Property-specific flags:

820 Edison Ave ⛔ — Do not bid. Four consecutive no-bid cycles without a recorded sale. Pull ACRIS title history and identify the root cause (likely a superior lien or title defect) before any bid.
167 E 61st St Apt 28E ⚠️ — $4,297/month HOA is a material cost. Confirm co-op transfer protocol with the managing agent before May 31.
420 E 72nd St Apt 16E ⚠️ — Leasehold interest only; no conventional financing. Pull ground lease documents and confirm remaining term before June 14.
548 E 87th St #1 — Confirm outstanding HOA balance with condo association before bidding; buyer is responsible per the purchase agreement.
411 Madison St — Confirm zoning/C of O with NYC Buildings Department. The 8-bedroom configuration may indicate multi-family use recorded under a different classification.
CWCOT listings (ServiceLink) — No lender-issued title insurance. Independent title search is mandatory.
1225 E 85th St, Brooklyn — Status conflict (sold vs. active on Auction.com) is now entering a third consecutive unresolved cycle. Manual ACRIS verification required before any action on this address.

Infrastructure note: Google/Serper search was restored on Day 4 of the outage (May 25–28). Coverage for this cycle is estimated at ~72%. ServiceLink property pages remain inaccessible via direct fetch. NYC DOF portal, ACRIS, and StreetEasy/Zillow remain blocked by infrastructure issues on the collection side. Next cycle will attempt to retrieve ServiceLink May 31 outcomes and confirm any OBs that remain unresolved.
