Articles about Bank Foreclosures
Bank foreclosures have always been a part of the mortgage world but of late it has been drawing attention because of there being millions of bank foreclosures. This has directly and indirectly led to the financial crisis causing America and many parts of the world to slip into recession.
When a mortgage is contracted the house is kept as security by the lender – generally the banks. The borrower agrees to repay the loan per month – the amount being inclusive of interest and partial repayment of the principal. If the borrower defaults the bank gives a foreclosure notice wherein a date is set for the Sheriff’s auction. In some states bank foreclosures are judicial in others it is not so – court intervention is not required. A trustee auction is then held.
At the auction sale all pending liens are cleared – banks take back their money as do other creditors like tax authorities. If something is left over then that goes to the borrower.
Lately the picture of bank foreclosures has changed thanks to the sub-prime mortgage melt down. Sub-prime mortgages were given to anybody asking for it without checking on their credit scores or repayment capability. This led to a deluge of bank foreclosures of tsunami proportions. With supply exceeding demand the houses are not selling at the court auctions and reverting back to the banks. With thousands weighing them down, the banks not being landlords are in a serious fix that is ultimately leading to their collapse.
Bank foreclosures are giving politicians the shivers as millions of vacant houses dotting the countryside are causing law and order problems apart from drying out the cash supply of banks.
