Short answer: Yes — Spring Hill homeowners who are behind on payments, facing foreclosure, or owe more than their home is worth can usually still sell, either traditionally or as a lender-approved short sale. Monica Karcz, a Florida Realtor and Senior Premier Agent with Redfin, helps Spring Hill and Hernando County homeowners compare those real-estate options.
Spring Hill is the largest community in Hernando County and an unincorporated area, so county rules and the Hernando County court system apply. It also has one local detail that surprises many homeowners: Hernando foreclosure sales are held in person at the courthouse in Brooksville, not online.
What’s different about short sales in Spring Hill?
Mostly single-family homes, often without an HOA
Spring Hill grew out of a large planned community started in the late 1960s, and much of it is single-family homes on individual lots, many without a mandatory homeowners association. That removes some closing steps (no association approval or estoppel in many cases), but the age and condition of roofs, HVAC, plumbing and septic systems in older sections matter for insurance and buyer financing.
Insurance, sinkholes and condition
Hernando County is in a part of Florida where sinkhole activity is more common. Prior sinkhole claims and repairs, and current insurance availability, must be disclosed and can affect value and lender review.
Competition from Pasco
Spring Hill buyers often compare homes in Hudson, Shady Hills and other north Pasco areas. Pricing against that competition helps an offer hold up in a lender’s valuation.
Courts, records and sales
- Spring Hill foreclosure cases are filed in Hernando County, part of Florida’s Fifth Judicial Circuit.
- According to the Hernando County Clerk, foreclosure sales are held in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. at the Hernando County Courthouse, 20 N. Main St., Brooksville.
- Parcel information is available from the Hernando County Property Appraiser.

Frequently asked questions
Are Spring Hill foreclosure auctions held online?
No. Spring Hill is in Hernando County, where the Clerk conducts foreclosure sales in person at the Brooksville courthouse. Check the Clerk’s website for current procedures.
Can I sell my Spring Hill home with a past sinkhole claim?
Yes, but the claim, repairs and any engineering reports must be disclosed. They affect insurance, financing and price, and a lender will consider them in a short-sale review.
Is a short sale my only option if I am behind on payments?
No. Depending on your situation you may be able to catch up, ask your servicer about a repayment plan or modification, or sell traditionally if you have equity. A HUD-approved housing counselor or attorney can explain non-sale options.
