The first step is calling the bank that holds the mortgage. You should have gotten that information on the offer or contract. Contact your closing attorney or the Realtor that represented you. Most times tho, if the new owner defaulted, the lender will put it on the market for sale but it can take 6months or more! They may have to clean it out, winterize, repairs, then they get 2 or 3 price opinions from different realtors, then price is determined and it will go on the market with some real estate agency. At some point a sign will be placed in the window on who to contact. I list a number of foreclosures and I get them at different stages of the foreclosed process. Hope this helps.
