Foreclosures 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 specified in the mortgage contract. 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 misses a mortgage payment, supposing the mortgage is still delinquent, and the home owner has not made up the missed payments in just a specific grace period, the lending company will start to foreclose. Typically the farther behind the borrower falls, the more difficult it becomes to catch up since lenders add fees for payments that are 10-15 days late.
Each state has its own foreclosure laws within the notices the lender must post publicly and/or with the homeowner, the homeowner's options for bringing the loan current and avoiding foreclosure, and the method for marketing the property. In twenty-two states – including Fl, Illinois, and Nyc – judicial foreclosure is the norm, meaning the lender must go through the courts to get authorization to foreclose by demonstrating the borrower is overdue.
If the foreclosure qualifies, the local sheriff auctions the home to the highest bidder to attempt to recoup what the bank is due, or the bank becomes the owner and markets the property 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 takes 480 to 700 times, based on the Mortgage Bankers Relationship of America.
The other 28 states – including Arizona, California, Georgia and Texas – mainly 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 house owner sues the lender.
