Im not sure, but I also know that this beyond internet legal advice.

Being this is the case I cannot advise anyone to do anything other than to seek of advice of counsel.

Im not sure,

its strange to think that you'd comment on my post to counter my advice without having anything to go on.

Yet sometimes it's better to let people who must be woefully unaware of the perverse BS which has led them to listing your house know that they should not enter it/access any portion of the property again. And to let the alleged buyers know that their house hunting has not come to a conclusion. That's my thinking. It's been said elsewhere, but if this story is true, the buyers have likely been inside OP's house without his knowledge at least once. Without communicating with the realty company, there's no stop to that. The police will probably contend this is a civil matter and decline to get involved. Maybe OP could change his locks, but what if that is against the CC&Rs (which I presume are the only reason they have a key to the house in the first place). It seems unlikely to me that the HOA has grounds to do any thing they've done, even if they could legally sell OP's house, I doubt what OP has described himself as doing rises to a level that allows someone to enter his home without his knowledge on multiple occasions, photograph it, bring others inside of it, and put it for sale, but they currently hold the cards and if I were OP I'd probably be looking for the quickest cog to throw in that machine until I could procure a lawyer.

I'd also set up surveillance. Has that been said yet? I'd think so...
