How to STOP a Foreclosure Sale Auction in NY & NJ
Your home is scheduled for a foreclosure auction. What would you do if you only had days left before losing your house?
Here’s the good news—you DON’T have to lose your home, even if the foreclosure auction is already scheduled.
If you live in Staten Island, NY, or New Jersey, there are legal steps you can take to stop the foreclosure sale and protect your home and equity.
📌 🔹 PRO TIP: The sooner you act, the more options you’ll have. Don’t wait until it’s too late!
Foreclosure Myth: It’s Too Late to Stop the Sale
🚨 Truth: Until that auction hammer drops, you still have options!
Many Staten Island and New Jersey homeowners believe that once they receive a Notice of Sale, foreclosure is inevitable. That’s not true!
Even if your auction date is days away, you can still work to stop or delay the foreclosure. The sooner you take action, the more options you’ll have to save your home. Waiting only makes things harder.
5 Ways to Stop a Foreclosure Auction in NY & NJ
1️⃣ Loan Reinstatement (Catching Up on Payments)
One way to stop foreclosure fast is by reinstating your loan—paying off all your missed payments, late fees, and penalties to bring your loan current.
✅ Ways to Find the Funds:
✔ Borrowing from family or friends
✔ Using retirement accounts (401k, IRA, etc.)
✔ Selling personal assets
📌 Pro Tip: Call your lender ASAP and request a “Reinstatement Quote.” This will give you the exact amount you need to stop foreclosure immediately.
2️⃣ Loan Modification: Lower Your Monthly Payment
A loan modification lets you work with your lender to change the terms of your mortgage—making it more affordable.
📌 To qualify, you must:
✔ Show a legitimate financial hardship
✔ Prove you can afford the new, lower payment
🔹 NY & NJ Tip: Many banks in New York and New Jersey participate in state mortgage relief programs. Ask about FHA, VA, or conventional loan modifications.
3️⃣ Filing for Bankruptcy: The Last-Minute Foreclosure Stopper
⚠ Bankruptcy is NOT for everyone, but it can temporarily STOP a foreclosure auction.
📌 How It Works:
- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy puts an automatic stay on foreclosure, pausing the auction and giving you time to catch up on payments.
- However, bankruptcy affects your credit for years. It should only be considered after speaking to a bankruptcy attorney.
🔹 Local Tip: If your auction is days away, consult a Staten Island or New Jersey bankruptcy lawyer ASAP.
4️⃣ Short Sale: Sell Your Home & Avoid Foreclosure
A short sale lets you sell your home for less than what you owe—with your lender’s approval.
🔹 Why Lenders Agree to Short Sales:
✔️ Costs the bank less than foreclosing
✔️ Protects your credit (better than foreclosure)
✔️ Gives you time to move
📌 NY & NJ Tip: A short sale in New York and New Jersey can take months—so start early! Work with a local short sale expert to negotiate with your lender.
5️⃣ Ask the Lender to Postpone the Sale
Most homeowners don’t realize you can ask your bank to delay the auction—and sometimes, they will!
📌 Lenders may postpone the foreclosure if you:
✔ Have a pending loan modification
✔ Are in contract with a buyer
✔ Have a short sale offer submitted
📞 Call your lender NOW and request a foreclosure sale postponement. The worst they can say is no, but if they say yes, you just bought yourself more time.
