Lag time in Recorder of Deeds updating -- How long is normal?

[Mark Beekman]

I'm looking at several properties on Auction.com that have been listed, in some cases, just a week after Sheriff Sale. When I search the title, there is no record of the Deed being transferred to the bank, or any liens being wiped out.

What is one to do in a situation like this? Is it normal for there to be a lag in records updating from the Recorder's office? One property in particular supposedly went to Sheriff Sale and was bought back by the bank over a month ago, but there's still no record of it.

How would you proceed?
