Frustrated About Vacant Home

My wife and I have been tracking a vacant house now for about 7 months. We submitted an offer back in May and supposedly 4 others had done the same. These offers are somewhere in the black hole that is consuming the financial world right now and the house remains empty to this day.

Two weeks ago, for some strange reason I signed on for a 7 day trial of Realtytrak and saw that the house was scheduled to be auctioned on November 6th. Unable to make it to the auction, we contacted the sheriff's office later that afternoon to see what had happened with the house. We were informed that the attorney had pulled the house off the auction block and it would be rescheduled for next month.

What can we do between now and auction time to try and purchase this house? Should we contact the attorney or try and locate the property owner? Like I said the house has been vacant since April or May and for all I know the owners have relocated.
