28 active Freddie Mac HomeSteps listings in Illinois right now.
Want every Illinois auction, not just Freddie Mac HomeSteps? Illinois government & state surplus auctions covers all platforms at once.
HomeSteps is Freddie Mac's brand for its REO (real-estate owned) inventory - homes Freddie Mac has taken back through foreclosure and resells. It is the sibling of Fannie Mae HomePath and HUD HomeStore, completing the federal-REO picture. Listings are fixed-price (not auctions); buyers submit offers through a licensed real-estate agent. Freddie Mac is a government-sponsored enterprise under FHFA conservatorship, so the inventory is federal-adjacent and distinct from the foreclosure homes sold by HUD and Fannie Mae. This page tracks its live listings in Illinois (IL); every one links back to bid on homesteps.com.Last updated: 2026-08-22
