Auctions get postponed far more often than not. Probably less than 10% of inital auction filings go thru. I have a short sale in process that had an auction scheduled for the first time over a year ago. It can go on for a long time for any number of reasons like a short sale in process, a bankruptcy filing, a loan mod in process, seller makes some partial payments, lender decides they just want to….etc. Hope that makes you a little less confused
BTW, I know, I was answering your question to clear things up.
