Can a judgment affect sale of house?

Yes, a judgment can affect the sale of a house. If a property owner has a judgment against them, it may result in a lien being placed on the property, making it difficult to sell until the judgment is resolved. Potential buyers may be deterred by the encumbrance or may require the seller to clear the judgment before completing the sale. Additionally, unresolved judgments can impact the seller's creditworthiness and ability to obtain financing for the sale.
