Foreclosure in Lackawanna County: What to Know
Lackawanna County foreclosures are handled at the Lackawanna County Courthouse in Scranton. Older housing stock is common here, and we buy Scranton-area homes in any condition — no repairs, cleaning, or updates needed.
Pennsylvania is a judicial foreclosure state, so every Lackawanna County foreclosure runs through the courts: the lender must send Act 6 and Act 91 notices, file a complaint, win a judgment, and schedule an advertised sheriff sale — a process that typically takes 9-18 months. That timeline is your opportunity. Up to one hour before the sale you can reinstate the loan, and up to the moment of the sale you can sell the home and end the foreclosure at the closing table.
Lackawanna County is home to well-known landmarks like Steamtown National Historic Site, Nay Aug Park, Electric City Aquarium — and to thousands of families who have weathered financial hardship. If you're facing foreclosure, we're here to help you protect your equity, your credit, and your future. Learn more in our PA foreclosure timeline guide or our guide to stopping a sheriff sale.

Lackawanna County Foreclosure FAQs
How do I stop a foreclosure in Lackawanna County, PA?
You can stop a Lackawanna County foreclosure by reinstating the loan (Pennsylvania's Act 6 allows curing the default up to one hour before the sheriff sale), applying for HEMAP within 33 days of your Act 91 notice, completing a loan modification, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy, or selling the home before the sale date. A cash sale can close in 7-14 days and stops the foreclosure completely when the mortgage is paid off at closing.
How long does foreclosure take in Lackawanna County?
Like all Pennsylvania counties, Lackawanna County foreclosures are judicial — the lender must sue in the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas and win a judgment before a sheriff sale. The process typically takes 9 to 18 months from the first missed payment, including required Act 6/91 notices, a 20-day window to answer the complaint, judgment, and advertised sheriff sale scheduling.
Can I sell my house before a sheriff sale in Lackawanna County?
Yes. You remain the legal owner until the sheriff's deed is delivered, so you can sell at any point before the Lackawanna County sheriff sale. A closing that pays off the mortgage ends the foreclosure entirely. We can close in as little as 7 days and coordinate the payoff with the lender's attorney.
What companies buy houses in Lackawanna County, PA?
Several investors operate in Lackawanna County, but vet any buyer carefully: verify their Pennsylvania real estate license (pals.pa.gov), insist on closing through a licensed title company, and never pay upfront fees. Stop Foreclosures PA is a licensed operation with an A+ BBB rating that has helped 275+ Pennsylvania families since 2010, buying houses as-is with no fees or commissions.
Do you buy houses in Lackawanna County in poor condition?
Yes — we buy Lackawanna County houses in any condition: major repairs needed, fire or water damage, code violations, inherited homes full of belongings, or tenant-occupied properties. You don't need to repair, clean, or stage anything before closing.
