How long does the foreclosure process take?

Foreclosure timelines vary significantly by state. Judicial states require the lender to go through court, taking 1 to 3 years. Non-judicial states allow lenders to foreclose through a trustee without court oversight, taking as little as 3 to 9 months.

Can you postpone or stop a foreclosure auction date?

Yes. You can postpone or halt a sale by filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy (which triggers an automatic stay), submitting a complete loan modification package to your servicer, or requesting a court injunction in judicial states.
