What Is a Redemption Period?

A redemption period is a window of time after a foreclosure sale when a former owner may have a legal right to reclaim the property, depending on state law.

Georgia Is Different

In Georgia, there is generally no typical post-sale redemption period after a standard foreclosure sale.

What This Means Practically

  • Do not wait for the auction to “see what happens.”
  • Confirm your timeline as early as possible.
  • Review save-home options and selling backup options before the sale date is close.
