Foreclosures increase? How?
Folks, I'm a bit confused on the latest foreclosure news, reporting that there was a 21% increase in foreclosures, MoM, in October 2020. I thought that there was a moratorium on foreclosures due to the CARES act? The act states that, except for vacant or abandoned property, a Federally backed mortgage loan servicer is prohibited from initiating any foreclosure process, seeking a foreclosure judgment or order of sale, or executing a foreclosure-related eviction or foreclosure sale for at least a 60-day period that began on March 18, 2020. So, I'm assuming these numbers are purely non-federally backed mortgages — does anyone know more about the details on these figures?
