WHAT’S A WINNING BID DEPOSIT?

New York Foreclosure auctions have a 10% Winning Bid Deposit requirement due at the time of being declared the winning bidder on any property. The 10% deposit is determined by the winning bid amount. The buyer is required to pay the deposit immediately upon winning. The remaining funds are due in a specified number of days, set by the Referee of the sale. While New York auction rules state the remaining balance is due in 30 days, this can vary. Ensure you check with the Referee to meet any required deadlines.
