You are correct for "items" but when it comes to PROPERTY (land/buildings), I'm not sure it's the same. I could be wrong, but the few property sales/purchases I've done don't work the same as "items"/assets.

My reading of this is you can defintely seize property and have the sheriff sell it at auction

How Do I Collect on a Judgement?

If the Debtor fails to pay, the winning party, the Creditor, may take steps to collect or execute the Judgment including:

Seizing personal property or assets

Filing a lien against real property

Filing an income execution or wage garnishment Once assets are identified, the enforcement officer can seize assets and sell them at an execution sale, applying the proceeds to the Judgment Here's a law firm page about how the sale of property works
