A Foreclosure Auction: The public sale of mortgaged property, and usually indicates a default in the repayment of a mortgage loan … Prior to the sale, public notice stating the time and place of the sale must be published where the property is located.
Petitions to Foreclose (Specific to Massachusetts): The filing of these documents is the first indication that the property is in distress. The petition to foreclose process serves to notify interested parties through the publication of legal notices in local newspapers that the lender has asked for authority to foreclose the mortgage it holds on the property …
Lis Penden: Listings indicating a pending legal action against the property owner. They are NOT a guarantee of pre-foreclosure activity. However, the listings between a property owner and a mortgage lender most likely are.
Bank Owned/REO Property: A residential property most likely acquired as a mortgage repossession.
