Common situations in Bernalillo County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
In New Mexico, an uncontested estate can often be opened informally in the Bernalillo County Probate Court; contested or more complex estates go to the Second Judicial District Court. Either one can appoint the personal representative who sells the house.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Albuquerque foreclosures are lawsuits filed in the Second Judicial District Court. After a judgment, the court's appointed special master sells the house at auction. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Bernalillo County Treasurer collects property taxes. After several years of nonpayment, the state Taxation and Revenue Department's Property Tax Division can sell the house at a public auction.

Selling for cash in Albuquerque: questions
My Albuquerque house is in foreclosure. Can I still sell it?
Usually yes, until the special master's sale — and New Mexico may give you a chance to redeem afterward. Selling before the sale keeps your equity. Ask the lender's attorney for a payoff figure.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Albuquerque?
New Mexico sales usually close through a title company, which pays off the mortgage, the county taxes and any liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Bernalillo County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
