Fannie Mae (just like Freddie Mac) has issued a Lender Letter announcing that it will halt all foreclosure sales on occupied single-family properties that are scheduled to occur between November 26, 2008 and January 9, 2009. This temporary halt also applies to eviction lockouts of occupied single-family properties. During this period, servicers are encouraged to continue working with borrowers whose foreclosure sales have been halted to pursue possible workout solutions.
