Where to Find Infonavit and Bank Home Auctions, What Buyers Should Know

Official offices provide the only reliable way to see current inventories of recovered homes.

Overview

  • Infonavit incorporates foreclosed properties into its Programa de Regeneración Comunitaria after an adjudication process that can extend to two years.
  • There is no real-time public online list, so interested buyers must request current catalogues through Infonavit offices, Infonatel or a CESI service center.
  • Judicial auctions typically require a 10% deposit to bid, and some properties are offered at discounts that can reach about 60% below market value.
  • Transactions often demand cash, interior inspections are commonly not possible due to occupancy, and buyers may face inherited debts, eviction proceedings and fraud risks.
  • Banks maintain their own portals for recovered homes, and options such as BBVA Inmuebles list properties cleared of legal processes that can be purchased with a mortgage.
