The property
- Title and liens: "Quitclaim deed, making the winning…"
From the seller's description. Not a guarantee of condition.
Market demand: Real Estate in Illinois sell about 26% of the time, typically ~2 bids. Based on 264 completed sales over the last year.
- Est. closing costs~1-2.1% of price, on top of the bid
- $1,500 - $2,500
- Can carry liens or unpaid assessments that become your responsibility - order a title search before you bid.
- Illinois is a tax lien state. The county sells the unpaid tax debt, not the house. You buy a certificate that earns interest, and you only get the property if the owner never repays.
- Title here usually needs a quiet-title action before it's insurable or resellable, and the former owner has a 30-month redemption period to reclaim the property.
- Often sold as-is and may be occupied. Budget for repairs, possible eviction, and legal costs.
We do not estimate what a specific property owes. Lien and back-tax amounts live in county records and only a title search returns the real number, so any figure produced without one is a guess you should not bid against. Estimates only, state-level and excluding local add-ons. state $0.50/$500; counties/home-rule cities add. Not legal or tax advice - confirm the specifics with a title search and the seller before you bid. Compare all 51 state tax-sale regimes.
