Data as of · sale counts recomputed nightly
Idaho law requires 120 days, and the notices we hold run a median of 113 days from first publication to the sale. That is shorter than the statutory minimum because the minimum runs from an earlier step — the recorded notice or the mailing to the borrower — while this counts from the day the notice first appeared in a newspaper.
