Frequently Asked Questions
What is the foreclosure process in New Jersey?
New Jersey uses judicial foreclosure, which requires the lender to file a complaint in Superior Court. The homeowner is served with a summons and has 35 days to respond. If no response is filed, the lender can seek a default judgment and eventually a sheriff sale.
How long does a foreclosure take in New Jersey?
The foreclosure process in New Jersey typically takes 6 to 12 months from the initial filing to the sheriff sale. However, delays can occur due to court backlogs, loan modification requests, or bankruptcy filings.
Can I stop a foreclosure in New Jersey after a sheriff sale?
Yes, in New Jersey you have a 10 day redemption period after the sheriff sale to redeem the property by paying the full amount owed plus costs. After that period, the sale is final and the new owner can take possession.
