The glaring headlines of today’s US Real Estate market tell them all – “More than 300,000 properties listed under foreclosure” and “Bank foreclosures up by 111% from 2007”. The magnitude of the foreclosure turmoil shaking the country can be well understood by these headlines. While all the States are reeling under the clutches of foreclosure filings increasing month after month, some States are more heavily hit – Nevada is one of them.

Hundreds of thousands home owners are forfeiting their homes to the foreclosure process against their wishes, due to circumstances beyond their control, like downward US economy, financial market confusions, hiked interest rates on barrowings, as also loss of employment opportunities force them to do so. It is true the over-ambitious home buying plans, during the boom years of Real Estate business in US, by the unwary barrowers is also a reason for this sad state of affairs. But people never expected that these dramatic changes will occur so soon and so wide, after enjoying decades of affluent lifestyles.

Bank Foreclosures stand out of all the three foreclosure stages – pre-foreclosure period between issue of Default Notice by the lender to the borrower; actual foreclosure at the Court’s premises by the Sheriff or nominated Trustee by public auction on the scheduled date; and repossession of the foreclosure property in the event of opening bid is not forthcoming from any quarters at the public auction. Banks as mortgage lenders are required to take repossession of the concerned property, on which they initiated the foreclosure process, and wipe off the other liens like secondary mortgages and tax liens attached to the property.

Clark County Bank Foreclosures have the same line of foreclosure proceedings, the only difference being they are selecting the short-cut way of Trustee Sales, as permitted by the Foreclosure Laws of Nevada. Many mortgages by their clauses allow lenders to sell the property in case of default in repayment, without having to file a law suit. The foreclosure process by the lending Bank commences by recording a Notice of Default in the recorder’s office and mailing it to the barrower. The barrower or the secondary mortgage lender has 35 days to pay off the total dues to the Bank and stop foreclosure.

Atleast 3 months after the issue of Default Notice, the lender can schedule a foreclosure sale and notice of such sale is sent to the barrower. A Trustee, already identified in the mortgage deed conducts the foreclosure sale public auction. The winning bidder gets the title of the property and if nobody bids the opening bid amount, the Bank takes repossession of the concerned property as Bank-owned.
