People love to look at homes on the internet but forget who actually inputed all the information for them to look at those listings. Finding Foreclosure information is work. You have to go down to your local courthouse and look through the "Lis Pendes" files. Most people have a full time job and cannot go and take half a day a week to do this. That's why is so popular. P.S. People who complain about paying someone to collect the information usually do not have all cash to pay for a home in foreclosure. You DON'T have the luxury of talking to a lender and doing all the inspections on a foreclosure. When they sell them on the courthouse steps you normally have 24-48 hours to come up with the cash. Not even hard money lenders can work that fast. If you do not have the cash to buy a foreclosure then forget about it. The information is not free because Realtors make no money on Foreclosures.

I don't know how to check other areas though, unless you want to name a county and see if they have a website.

That's how the listing services make money. Even at the government records department you'll probably pay for a print copy if you want one. No, there doesn’t have to be a free listing.

The problem is you'll have to work to get the information. You'll need to visit (in person) a number of local government agencies to find it or work with a real estate agent that specialize in foreclosure. There are free listings.
