Suspended Foreclosures for the Holidays

The news is out! Just released on the news is the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not put people out on the street for the next 2 weeks!

 

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will suspend foreclosure evictions from December 19, 2009 through January 3, 2010.  To help struggling families over the holidays, both owner-occupants and tenants living in properties foreclosed upon by Fannie Mae will not be evicted.  Freddie Mac's suspension of evictions will be limited to properties up to four units.

In a similar move, Citigroup Inc. will suspend foreclosure sales and evictions for 30 days through January 17, 2010 for loans it owns.  Citigroup's foreclosure moratorium, however, does not extend to loans it services on behalf of other investors.  Given these developments, other lenders may follow suit, so check with the lender if appropriate.

Most banks always have suspended new forclosures for December.  It isn't good will and it is not smart business.

Valorie ---- I had just read about this -- at least some homeowners will have some peaceful time if they can keep  their minds off of the foreclosure for a few days.

                            Happy Holidays
