Question by PGHGal: Can you buy a house for tax sale before the actual auction?
Property next door to my own is going for tax sale. I very much would like to purchase it for the listed price- is there anyway I can purchase before it goes for auction? Also, (i am very new to all of this!) how does a tax auction sale work- are the bids known or are they all silent. I dont want to pay much more than the upset price obviously! I live in PA if that matters.

Normally the listing price is the opening bid and is usually well below the final price. Each auction has different criteria to meet in order to bid. You may be required to be pre-approved for a loan, require a down payment if your bid is accepted, or many other requirements. You will need to check with the people performing the auction to get the requirements.
