A foreclosure is the act of selling real property at public auction in the event of default. A foreclosure occurs when a borrower defaults on a loan that is secured by a Deed of Trust. The procedure for conducting a foreclosure is set by Colorado State Statute and must be followed precisely.
Colorado is the only Public Trustee state in the country. Any Deed of Trust being foreclosed on must be processed by our office. The length of the foreclosure process may be concluded in as little as four months, or may last as long as sixteen months, depending on circumstances unrelated to the Public Trustee’s procedures.
The foreclosure moratorium for homeowners with an FHA insured or Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan, and homeowners with a Section 184 or Section 184A mortgage loan, except for properties that are legally vacant or abandoned, has been extended through June 30, 2021. HUD prohibits servicers from initiating or proceeding with foreclosure and foreclosure-related eviction actions during the moratoriums.
Any Eagle County properties for which foreclosure processes were started before these moratoriums went into effect will have their sale dates continued until the moratorium is lifted.
If you have questions about any properties currently listed on the weekly sales or continuance list, please call our office at 970-328-8867 for more information.
