Can "Regular" Buyers Buy Their Home at a Courthouse Auction in Northern Virginia and Great Falls?

I recently did a brief investigation on whether it was realistic to buy a personal residence in the Great Falls Virginia area at a courthouse auction in Fairfax County.  I used the listings on RealtyTrac as a starting point and headed out to an auction one morning with the listings of interest that a buyer might have interest in.

The situation -- finding a peronsal residence at the steps of the courthouse--proved to be more extreme than anticipated in a negative direction. it's not the real world.  RealtyTrac is somewhat misleading to regular buyers in my opinion, but provide a great service for investors who play the game 20 days/month....

Do you get buyers every year who think they are missing out on their dream house opportunity becase you're not taking themt to the courthouse auctions?  This video should open their eyes that their home will be in the MLS or at an unlisted builder--not at the courthouse auction listed on foreclosure websites.
