Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a foreclosure take in Illinois?
In Illinois, a judicial foreclosure typically takes 7 to 12 months from the initial filing to the sale. The homeowner has 30 days to respond after being served with the complaint. After a judgment, the property must be sold at a sheriff sale no sooner than 7 months from the filing date.
What is the redemption period in Illinois?
Illinois law provides a redemption period of 90 days after the sheriff sale for most residential properties. During this time, the homeowner can pay the full amount owed plus costs to reclaim the property. This period does not apply if the property is abandoned or if the homeowner waived the right.
Can I stop a foreclosure sale in Illinois?
Yes, you may stop a foreclosure sale by filing for bankruptcy, which triggers an automatic stay. Other options include negotiating a loan modification, filing a lawsuit to challenge the foreclosure, or redeeming the property before the sale. An attorney can advise on the best approach for your situation.
