Facing Foreclosure · Abington, PA

Facing Foreclosure in Abington Township: Your Options

A foreclosure notice can feel sudden, even for owners who have lived in an Abington home for years. Pennsylvania's Housing Finance Agency says to contact your servicer and a housing counselor as soon as possible. A timely HEMAP application, within 33 days of an Act 91 notice, can pause further lender action while the application stays timely. Count the days on your own notice. Keep every envelope, because the date printed on a notice can matter. The agency also lists repayment, forbearance and payment deferral among options, so a sale is not the only door.

What’s different in Abington

How Montgomery County sells property

The Montgomery County Sheriff holds sheriff sales as public auctions of property repossessed over an unpaid debt, often a mortgage foreclosure. Bidding runs online through Bid4Assets, and the office posts Conditions of Sale and foreclosure prevention information. Because the schedule changes, check the live page instead of relying on a list someone sent you.

Equity in a postwar house

Abington's data points to dated postwar homes, estate sales and deferred maintenance. Equity exists only after the payoff and costs are subtracted. A cash price is below retail, because we price repairs and risk. Ask the lender's attorney for a payoff figure, then compare our number with an agent's range after repairs and commission.

Check flooding and township questions

If the house is near the Pennypack, Sandy Run or Tacony creek corridors, the township's plan documents recurring flooding and cautions that older maps can miss risk. For any residential transfer question, the Fire Marshal's Office at 267-536-1057 is a sensible first call, since the township's Use & Occupancy page addresses commercial transfers. Check the specific lot, not just the neighborhood, since creek corridors run through several parts of the township. If your mail goes to an address where you no longer live, update it with the servicer so notices reach you.

Checklist before you sell

  • The Act 91 notice and every servicer letter
  • Foreclosure complaint, judgment or sheriff's notice
  • Docket number and the plaintiff's attorney
  • A recent mortgage statement and payoff request
  • Any HEMAP or modification application records
  • The deed and any second mortgage or lien
  • Photos of the house and a list of needed repairs

How Kaizen can help

If you decide to sell, send the address and the dates on your notices. We look at the house as it stands and make a cash offer, with no repairs or showings on your side. A dated kitchen or an old roof is something we price, not something you fix first. Tell us if anyone else lives in the home, so the plan fits.

An accepted offer does not end a foreclosure case. Ask the lender's attorney in writing about any pause, and keep every deadline in view. We will tell you honestly if the title work makes your timeline unrealistic. Call or text Kaizen Home Buyers at 267-329-0084.

Facing Foreclosure in Abington: questions

How long do I have to apply for HEMAP?

The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency points to a 33-day window after an Act 91 notice for a HEMAP application to pause lender action. Read your notice for the date.

How are Montgomery County sheriff sales run?

They are public auctions run online through Bid4Assets. The Sheriff's Office posts Conditions of Sale and foreclosure prevention information. The office also posts foreclosure prevention information alongside the Conditions of Sale.

Does accepting an offer pause the sale?

No. A pause has to be confirmed in writing by the lender's attorney, the sheriff or the court, so keep following the deadlines on your notices until you have it.

Is there equity in my house?

Subtract the lender's payoff and closing costs from a realistic price to find out. Ask for the payoff in writing, then compare our cash number with what an agent expects after repairs and commission.
