Bank of America to Halt foreclosure notices in AZ AGAIN - 1st time Judicial States/2nd time Non-Judicial States - AZ is BOTH! GETS HIT TWICE!

The first round of foreclosures halted by Bank of America were in the Judicial States, now the Non-Judicial States are being halted due to the Robo-Signing crisis. Arizona is both! (a judicial and non-judicial state). Not good, Arizona has 3 of the 4 rising foreclosure rates amoung others like California & Nevada. The halt in October caused delays in inventory coming to the market (which BOFA holds about 23% of the share of lender owned property here).

"The prolonged curtailment in NOD (notices of default) volume will lead to fewer foreclosure completions in 2011 than forecast," notes mortgage consultant Mark Hanson. "After four months of total uncertainty over the entire foreclosure process nationwide, it will have consequences on the mortgage, housing, and related sectors."

Hanson says distressed loan pipelines are "poised to get out of control beginning in Q1"

Understanding the difference
Simply stated, the non-judicial foreclosure process starts with a Notice of Trustee Sale recorded with the county. The foreclosure process is done outside of the judicial system and the home is sold at a Trustee Sale 91 days after the notice is recorded. Unless, the homeowner is able to come to terms (reinstate) with the mortgage lender prior to the trustee sale, the home will be sold. The judicial foreclosure process is a civil lawsuit filed in the court system by the mortgage holder against the borrower. Once the mortgage holder obtains a judgment, the court will direct the mortgaged property to be sold to satisfy the judgment. The property will be sold by the County Sheriff by conducting an auction. There is no right of redemption once a Trustee Sale occurs, but there is a redemption period prior to a Sheriff Sale. The borrower can pay the entire balance of the mortgage and may even have certain statutory rights of redemption after the Sheriff sale.
