Most recently one of the auctions was postponed and we see this happening a lot.

EddieBy law the bank is prohibited from dealing with you directly, it is interpreted as attempting to collect during the bankruptcy so any attempts to sell anything must be done through the trustee but it is done often.When the foreclosure is just days away the bank can postpone it but in my experiences the bank can be trusted to pretty much not stick to anything they say, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Originally, it was postponed due to my ignorance on the subject of real estate investing.

For example all IndyMac foreclosures were suspended when it went into FDIC conservatorship a few years ago.Sometimes the investor/bank has a buyer in the wings and is negotiating with them (I've seen this accelerate the date rather than postpone it)That's all I can think of off the top of my head.  

But the county postponed the approval 60 days until we threatened to sue the county.Developing can be profitable, but there is a lot to consider.

As with a trustee sale your never sure which one will actually get sold. many are postponed redeemed etc..

The worse case scenario in your case here is that you postponed your scheduled settlement until you start the new job.

NC has a similar law entitled Home Foreclosure Rescue Scams and the wording here (in NC) in the Foreclosure rescue transaction is the buyer "... make representations that the transfer of the residential property will enable the transferor to prevent, postpone, or reverse the effect of foreclosure and to remain in the residence..."

We help postpone auction dates and setup short sales.

It should also tell you if they get postponed or not.
