Camden County Foreclosure Timeline
New Jersey is a judicial foreclosure state. Every foreclosure must go through the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, giving homeowners significant procedural rights and time to mount a defense.
New Jersey's Fair Foreclosure Act requires a notice of intent to foreclose at least 30 days before filing the complaint. This early notice is your first chance to cure the default or enter loss mitigation.
The lender files with the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division. Owner-occupied properties qualify for mandatory court foreclosure mediation. You also have the right to cure up to the date of the foreclosure judgment.
After judgment, the Sheriff's sale is held. You have a 10-day right to object to the sale (a form of post-sale redemption review). Any deficiency must be sought within 3 months and is limited to fair market value.

Foreclosure Mediation in Camden County
New Jersey's Foreclosure Mediation Program is mandatory for owner-occupied residential properties and administered by the Superior Court. It can bring both parties to a loss mitigation settlement. Camden County's housing stock runs from older owner-occupied rowhouse neighborhoods in Camden City, Pennsauken and Gloucester City to suburban tracts in Cherry Hill, Voorhees and Winslow, and owner-occupancy is the common case across all of them.

New Jersey Fair Foreclosure Act
N.J. Stat. Ann. §§ 2A:50-1 to 2A:50-68
The comprehensive framework for New Jersey judicial foreclosure, including cure rights and mediation.
Right of Redemption
New Jersey gives you a right to cure the default up to the date of the foreclosure judgment, and a 10-day right to object to the sheriff's sale (a limited post-sale redemption review). Engaging loss mitigation and, for owner-occupants, court mediation is the strongest path to keep the home.
Deficiency Judgments
A New Jersey lender may pursue a deficiency, but any motion must be made within 3 months of the sheriff's sale and the amount is limited to debt minus fair market value as determined by the court. A fair-value defense can substantially reduce what you owe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does New Jersey's Fair Foreclosure Act protect me?+
It requires a 30-day notice of intent to foreclose, lets you cure up to the date of judgment, mandates consideration of loss mitigation, offers mandatory mediation for owner-occupants, and limits deficiency to fair market value.
Where is the Camden County foreclosure sale held?+
The Camden County Sheriff conducts the court-ordered sale as a public auction, with Camden as the county seat where court-supervised foreclosure matters are heard at the Hall of Justice.
Can I get mediation in Camden County?+
Yes — New Jersey's Foreclosure Mediation Program is mandatory for owner-occupied properties and administered by the Superior Court. It can bring both parties to a settlement.
Can I keep my house after the sheriff's sale?+
New Jersey gives a 10-day right to object to the sale, which functions as a limited post-sale review. Acting before the sale — curing or negotiating — is the stronger path.
Where can I get free help in Camden County?+
Camden Regional Legal Services and LSNJ provide free help to qualifying residents. Start with a HUD-approved housing counselor immediately.
Is Camden County on a different foreclosure timeline from the rest of New Jersey?+
No. New Jersey forecloses judicially statewide, and Camden County cases run through the same Superior Court, Chancery Division process as every other county. What varies locally is the housing stock, not the procedure: Camden City, Pennsauken and Gloucester City are dominated by older owner-occupied rowhouses, while Cherry Hill, Voorhees and Winslow are suburban and predominantly owner-occupied. In both settings the two most valuable protections are identical — the right to cure that runs up to the date of the foreclosure judgment, and the mandatory mediation program for owner-occupants. Because the process is court-supervised rather than a fixed clock, the practical pace of a case depends on the filing, the county's docket and how actively the homeowner engages.
