By foreclosure properties are meant those houses that have come under the foreclosure process. There are many stages to this process – some judicial and others non-judicial. The lender forecloses on the properties and with due permission from the authorities arranges for its sale so as to realize the unpaid dues. It is not just the lender but the tax authorities may also foreclose on properties. Unpaid contractors may also place a lien on the units.
At the time of taking a mortgage the property is kept as security with the lender. When the borrower fails to pay dues for three months the lender issues a notice of foreclosure. By it the owner loses right of ownership on the unit. The pre-foreclosure stage is when the notice has not been issued but the borrower is defaulting. This is the best time for the borrower to open talks with the lender.
Once the notice is issued the house goes into foreclosure. A date is fixed for the auction that may be supervised either by the courts or by trustees depending on the laws prevalent in different states. If the house does not get sold at the auction then it reverts to the bank, freeing the borrower from all obligations.
Generally by foreclosing on a property the banks became rich. But it is not so now. There are so many foreclosed properties that banks are facing collapse. On the one hand the flow of money from mortgage dues has dried up and on the other the houses are not selling. There are so many foreclosed properties in the market that supply is outstripping demand causing prices of foreclosed properties to drop by as much as 50% sometimes.
