How Goliath collects Florida foreclosure sales

Key Takeaways

• Goliath's Florida foreclosure pages are a list of every scheduled foreclosure sale Goliath collects in Florida's 67 counties, taken from county clerk sale calendars and court records.
• The refresh is nightly: Goliath collects Florida foreclosure sales every night, and every page shows the date it was last updated.
• Each sale shows its case number, final judgment, the county property appraiser's market value and the recorded debts; owner names and contact details are partly hidden.
• Each row is one sale: listings that share a county and case number are merged, and cancelled sales and timeshare weeks are left out.
• On November 10, 2026, Goliath listed 2,313 Florida foreclosure sales scheduled in the next 30 days, in 59 of Florida's 67 counties.
• A scheduled Florida foreclosure sale can be postponed or cancelled, so confirm the sale with the county clerk before bidding.

Goliath is a real estate sourcing and deal management platform. Its Florida foreclosure auctions pages list scheduled foreclosure sales statewide, by county and by sale. This article explains where that data comes from, how often it changes, what the pages show and hide, and how to ask for a correction.

Where does Goliath get Florida foreclosure sale data?

The source of Goliath's Florida foreclosure sale data is public records. The sale date, sale time, case number and final judgment come from the county clerk's foreclosure sale calendar, published on the clerk's RealAuction (RealForeclose) auction site or the clerk's own website, and from Florida court records. Property facts and market value come from the county property appraiser. Housing unit counts come from the U.S. Census Bureau. Chapter 45 of the Florida Statutes sets how a foreclosure sale and its surplus funds work.

How often are Goliath's Florida foreclosure pages updated?

The update schedule is nightly: Goliath collects Florida foreclosure sales every night. Each night's run lists every sale with a date from that day through the next 30 days, and each page shows the date it was last updated, for example "Updated November 10, 2026." A sale can change after that night's run: under Florida Statutes section 45.0315, the borrower can pay the judgment before the clerk files the certificate of sale, and the court can move the sale date. Confirm a sale's date and status with the county clerk before bidding.

What does each Florida foreclosure sale listing show?

A Goliath sale listing is one scheduled Florida foreclosure sale with its case number, final judgment, market value and recorded debts. A listing has these parts:

• The sale: the sale date and time, whether it is scheduled or postponed, and the earlier date of a postponed sale.
• The case: the case number, the filing date, who filed it (a lender or a homeowners or condo association) and the final judgment, plus the opening bid and unpaid balance when the clerk publishes them.
• The property: the county property appraiser's market value and assessed value, the judgment as a share of market value, property type, beds, baths, square feet, year built, flood risk and HOA.
• The debts: recorded mortgages, delinquent property tax, other liens and code violations.
• The history: the last recorded sale and whether the home is listed for sale.

Before a sale, Goliath shows the market value above the judgment, not "surplus." Florida law treats surplus funds as money left after a completed sale.

What do Goliath's Florida foreclosure pages hide?

Owner names and contact details are partly hidden on Goliath's Florida foreclosure pages. The name of a person, a person's trust or an estate is masked to its first letters, for example "M•••• G•••••." A company owner, lender or association is shown by name. The owner's mailing address shows only its city and state, never the street, and the pages show no phone numbers or email addresses. Goliath's collection job masks owner names before the data reaches the site, and a test fails the job if any unmasked owner name appears in its output.

How does Goliath avoid duplicate and cancelled sales?

The rule is one row per Florida foreclosure sale. The same sale can appear in more than one source, so Goliath merges listings that share a county and case number into one row. Goliath leaves out a sale whose status reads cancelled, redeemed, vacated, dismissed or bankruptcy, a timeshare week, and a sale with no street address. A sale drops off the pages once its date has passed.

Which Florida counties does Goliath cover?

Goliath's Florida coverage is all 67 counties, 8 of them in part. On November 10, 2026, Goliath listed 531 sales scheduled in the next 7 days and 2,313 in the next 30 days, in 59 counties; Broward County had 251 and Miami-Dade County had 206. The 8 partly covered counties are Franklin, Gadsden, Highlands, Okaloosa, Okeechobee, Putnam, Union and Washington. Their pages say "Partly covered," because Goliath collects only some of their sale sources and the list can miss a sale.

A county Goliath does not collect is marked "Not covered yet" on its page and on the statewide map, and no Florida county was marked that way on November 10, 2026. To request a county, use the "Request this county" link on its page, which emails support@goliathdata.com with the county named.

How do Florida foreclosure sales work under Chapter 45?

A Florida foreclosure sale is a public auction run by the county clerk under Chapter 45 of the Florida Statutes. Under section 45.031, the final judgment directs the county clerk to sell the property at a public sale, normally 20 to 35 days after the judgment, and the clerk may hold the sale online. The winning bidder posts a deposit of 5% of the final bid. The clerk then files a certificate of sale, and if no objection is filed within 10 days, a certificate of title passes title to the buyer. Under section 45.032, the owner of record on the date the lis pendens was filed is presumed entitled to the surplus funds after a completed sale, after subordinate lienholders who filed a timely claim.

How do I request a correction or removal of a Florida foreclosure listing?

The correction and removal path is the link at the foot of every Goliath sale page: "Is this your home? Request a correction or removal." The link opens an email to support@goliathdata.com with the property address, the page and the case number already filled in; write what should change and send it.

Where can I see Goliath's Florida foreclosure sales?

The statewide page is Florida foreclosure auctions, with the map and every county. The two counties with the most scheduled sales on November 10, 2026 have their own pages: Broward County foreclosure auctions and Miami-Dade County foreclosure auctions.
