Foreclosure is a situation in which a homeowner is unable to make full principal and interest repayments on his/her mortgage, which allows the lender to seize the property, evict the homeowner and sell the home, as agreed in the mortgage agreement. One month after the homeowner misses a home loan payment, he/she is in default and will be notified by the lender. Three to six weeks after the homeowner does not show for a mortgage payment, supposing the mortgage is still delinquent, and the home owner has not made up the missed payments within a specific grace period, the lending company will commence to foreclose. The farther behind the customer falls, the more difficult it becomes to catch up since lenders add fees for payments that are 10 to 15 days late.

Each state has its own foreclosure laws covering the notices the lender must post publicly and/or with the homeowner, the homeowner's options for bringing the loan current and avoiding property foreclosure, and the process for promoting the property. In twenty-two states – including California, Illinois, and Nyc : judicial foreclosure is the norm, meaning the lender must go through the courts to get permission to foreclose by demonstrating the borrower is late.

If the foreclosure is approved, the local sheriff auctions the property to the highest bidder to attempt to recoup what the bank is due, or the bank becomes the owner and sells the house through the traditional route to recoup its loss. The entire judicial foreclosure process, from the borrower's first, missed repayment through the lender's sale of the home, usually will take 480 to 700 days and nights, based on the Mortgage Bankers Association of America.

The other 28 states – including Arizona, California, Georgia and Texas – mostly use non-judicial foreclosure, also referred to as the power of sale, which is commonly faster and does not go through the courts unless the homeowner sues the lender.
