The COVID-19 Pandemic has severely impacted the living costs of many homeowners, putting their property at risk of foreclosure. With so many people out of work, dealing with the monthly mortgage payments could be a massive strain on a population.

According to the U.S.  Census Bureau's survey in December 2021, approximately 45,000 Oregon property owners face this process because they have been unable to settle the agreed monthly mortgage payments. Fortunately, the Legislature approved preventing foreclosure on Oregon properties once in 2020 for missed payments, and again in May 2021. This greatly helped countless people because all foreclosure proceedings were halted in order to assist citizens affected by the pandemic.

If you're having difficulty making your mortgage payments and have ended up missing one or more, you might be wondering what it's like to go into foreclosure as a final resort. The mortgage foreclosure process is time-consuming and complicated, with specific steps varying from state to state.

In some states, foreclosure involves a court hearing, during which borrowers can contest the decision and bring up defenses. In others, the bank can foreclose on the property without a court order.

A foreclosure action, whether with a hearing or not, can lead you to lose your home. It can also have long-term consequences for your credit score. In this article, we’ll discuss what a foreclosure is and what you can do when it happens.

Purchasing a home can be a complex process that most consumers are unprepared for and do not fully comprehend. Other steps must take place throughout the phases of buying and selling a home, from the proposal to the full inspection and getting that mortgage approval.

Selling a property is not something that most people do every day (or even every ten years), so it's logical to seek the assistance of a real estate professional. Enter the real estate agent, specifically the seller's agent. These representatives, also known as listing agents, put a price on your property and advertise them, arrange viewings, negotiate with potential buyers, and generally represent the seller throughout the real estate transaction, from initial listing to final closing.

While you are not required to use a listing agent to sell your home, many people do because then they can make the process go more flawlessly and help maximize the sale price.

A probate sale may occur when a homeowner passes away with considerable debts. If the property does not have enough liquid assets to fulfill creditor claims, it will be sold to pay off its creditors to the greatest extent possible. Depending if the person left a will, any remaining funds would be distributed to family members or other beneficiaries.

Furthermore, probate homes are advertised and sold like other properties, with real estate representatives listing and showcasing them to potential buyers. Anyone can make an offer on these homes, but the process can be complicated.
