What is the foreclosure timeline in Washington State?
Washington is primarily a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning the lender does not need to go through the courts. After missing payments, you typically receive a Notice of Default, followed by a Notice of Trustee Sale at least 120 days before the auction date. From the first missed payment to auction, the process usually takes six to twelve months. This window gives you time to explore alternatives like loan modification, short sale, or a quick home sale. Steve McNamer helps homeowners in Pierce County understand exactly where they are on this timeline and what options remain available.
What is a short sale and how does it work?
A short sale occurs when you sell your home for less than what you owe on the mortgage, with the lender's approval. The lender agrees to accept the reduced payoff to avoid the cost and delay of foreclosure. Short sales typically take longer than regular sales because the lender must approve the offer. However, a short sale generally has less impact on your credit score than a foreclosure and may allow you to purchase another home sooner. Steve has experience negotiating short sales with lenders serving the Pierce County market.
Will a foreclosure affect my credit score?
Yes. A foreclosure typically drops your credit score by 100 to 160 points and remains on your credit report for seven years. However, selling your home before the foreclosure is completed, whether through a traditional sale, short sale, or cash offer, can significantly reduce the credit damage. The sooner you act, the more options you have to protect your financial future.
