Disclaimer: This summary is general information adapted from our public resource page—not legal advice. Statutes change, federal mortgage-servicing rules apply, and local practice matters. Confirm every deadline with a licensed foreclosure attorney in the state where the property sits, and consider a free or low-cost HUD-approved housing counselor. Nothing here guarantees a timeline or outcome.
Judicial vs non-judicial foreclosure According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, foreclosure is generally done one of two ways. Judicial foreclosure requires a court lawsuit where the borrower can raise defenses before a sale. Non-judicial foreclosure proceeds without filing that lawsuit, through statutory notices under a power-of-sale clause in the mortgage or deed of trust. Many states allow both; the common residential path differs by state. Federal mortgage-servicing rules can add timing on top of state law.
What is a right of redemption? Redemption is the right to keep or reclaim the home by paying the amount the statute, judgment, or sale rules require. Pre-sale reinstatement or cure rights are common. A post-sale statutory right of redemption exists only in some states—and sometimes only if the home was a homestead, the sale price was below an appraisal threshold, or the lender (not a third party) bought at auction. If a source says “None / limited,” do not assume you can buy the house back after the sale.
Can you sell a house during foreclosure? Frequently yes—if you still have authority to convey title and the loan (plus other liens) can be paid from closing proceeds or another agreed arrangement. A cash as-is sale is one option some homeowners choose when they have equity and need a closing date that title and counsel can work with. It is not a way to freeze the legal process.
