It looks like lenders are giving struggling home owners a break
Nov 25th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Real Estate Investing NewsAs we approach the holiday season and the end of a year where foreclosuers have been through the roof it appears that some lenders are giving home owners a break.
I have noticed over the last couple of weeks a lot of news coming out on different lenders that are halting foreclosures for a period of time. In most cases I am seeing this halt start this week (week of Thanksgiving) and continue till January 9, 2009 – in some cases this goes till March.
I am curious what the impact of this halt will be to the homeowner. Hopefully this will buy them enough time to either work something out or in many cases to get a short sale approved.

Freddie Mac Suspends All Foreclosure Sales Until January 9, 2009

There is also talk of a 120 Day halt on all foreclosures.
