Can You Stay in Your Home During Foreclosure?

Yes, You Can Stay

Until a judge signs the foreclosure judgment and the home is auctioned, you’re still the legal owner. That means you’re allowed to live there.

When Should You Leave?

  • If you’ve secured housing elsewhere
  • If a sale has occurred and the new owner takes possession
  • If safety becomes a concern
 

Benefits of Staying

  • Maintain control over the home
  • Prevent vandalism or squatters
  • Buy time to find your next place
 

Be Smart

  • Keep paying utilities
  • Secure your valuables
  • Start planning early for relocation

We work with homeowners who are still living in their homes. In fact, most of our clients are.
