A filing of Warrant in Detinue is used in small claims court to sell anything that has a value equal to the judgment or property secured by the debt.
The maximum allowed is for judgments up to $5000.
I doubt a court would let them sell your home as it no doubt exceeds the judgment, also, unless you have paid off the mortgage, you still have a lien holder who comes first (the mortgage company).
There are ways to fight back and you can read more in the link posed in the source area.
