South Carolina uses a judicial foreclosure process through the courts, often taking 3-6 months. It involves a lawsuit, hearings, and public auctions, with opportunities to respond. Homeowners can defend in court or explore options like modifications to halt proceedings. January 2026 saw 1 in every 2,351 homes with filings, highest in counties like Richland and York.
