2nd mtg lender allowed to sell house - is this normal?

This didnt happen to me but to someone i know — it seems like a very unorthodox situation but tell me if you have seen it it and share your feelings.

2nd mortgage - very small - under $50K with a major national bank. 1st mortgage - over $200 K is with a really sleazy lender. House was appraised over $400K

Lender #2 was allowed to conduct a foreclosure sale, with the stipulation that the buyer has to “take on” Mortgage 1.

A foreclosure sale was conducted in Spring 2019. The buyer won with a bid of $59,000 and this is the reported sale price with the county / city. The buyers are listed as the owners of record.

Fast forward to late 2019. Lender 1 (again with a horrific reputation) either is reneging on the deal or could not qualify the buyer / new owner

They are now suing in a foreclosure, husband and wife that bought the property and the previous owner. The foreclosure is stalled right now because Lender 1 cannot locate the previous owner.

The only thing i could think of is Lender 1 thinks why should we do a deal with the buyers and maybe make 3,000 in closing costs when we can make $200,000 in foreclosure sale

Any thoughts?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
