Which seller signals each county has
Not every county publishes every record. Some have no online foreclosure filings, and few have city code or eviction data. This table shows, for each county we cover, how many properties sit on each main seller signal, so a zero never surprises you after you sign up.
How many counties have each signal
| Signal | Counties | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-foreclosure | 86 of 99 | The county's files show a foreclosure case (lis pendens or a case in court). Where a county files these differs, so a zero can mean the county does not publish them in a form we can use. |
| Sheriff sale | 63 of 99 | The latest transfer was a sheriff, marshal, receiver or foreclosure sale. |
| Tax delinquent | 95 of 99 | Property tax is past due, or the parcel is on the county's certified-delinquent list. |
| Inherited / estate | 99 of 99 | A death-related deed (affidavit, transfer on death, executor, administrator) or an owner name that shows an estate or heirs. Probate court case files are not a separate column here. |
| Code violation | 30 of 99 | The city has an open code-enforcement case. This comes from city data, so only some counties have it. |
| Vacant building | 27 of 99 | The city opened a vacant-building case in the last two years. |
| Tax lien | 76 of 99 | A tax lien certificate was sold on the parcel (only in states that sell liens). |
| Eviction | 1 of 99 | A landlord filed an eviction for the address. This comes from municipal court data, so very few counties have it. |
| Bankruptcy | 15 of 99 | The owner is in bankruptcy, where a county or court source shows it. |
| Land contract | 5 of 99 | The property was sold on a land contract, where the county records it. |

Counts only; no owner details. Government, bank and builder owners are left out, as in a default search. Counts move as counties publish new records.
How to use this table
Pick the signal your plan depends on and check that your county has it before you start. If you are a wholesaler who needs pre-foreclosure owners, a county with a dash there is a poor fit, but its tax delinquent and inherited lists may still be strong. Every county page lists its own numbers and the offices they come from.
Questions
What does a dash or a zero mean in this table?
That county has no properties on that signal in the files we hold. Either the county does not publish it in a form we can use, or there really are none. If you need that signal in that county, ask us and we will check it for you.
Why do some counties have no pre-foreclosure count?
Foreclosure filings live in different places. In some states they are court cases, in others they are recorded at the county recorder, and not every office puts them online. We show only what the county publishes.
Is probate included?
Not as its own column. The inherited / estate column counts death-related deeds and estate owner names, which are public in more counties than probate court case lists.
Are these counts the same as the lists in the app?
Yes, they are counts of properties on the same seller lists, with government, bank and builder owners left out, as in a default search.
