Processing ContentA sale of 1,500 non-vacant properties, HNVLS 2026-1, which was originally scheduled to take place in February , will now open on Sept. 1. Any heirs to the properties did not declare their intent to buy out the loans within the allowable time frame. Participation in HUD loan sales is closed to individual buyers, with bid opportunities typically offered to nonprofits, government entities and institutional investors. With a bid date tentatively planned for October, the pool consists of approximately 4,000 now unoccupied HECM-backed single-family properties. As with the non-vacant sale, institutional buyers will be required to sign attestations to comply with the Trump order.
