Alaska Foreclosures and Foreclosed Homes for Sale

While both judicial and non-judicial foreclosures occur in Alaska, most mortgages contain a clause allowing lenders to start the proceedings out of court. Once borrowers are in default for at least 30 days, the lender will send them a notice of default, complete with information pertinent to the sale. This notice is usually delivered or mailed to the borrowers, as well as posted on the property.

Since lenders are required to post a notice of sale in a public place at least 30 days before the auction, many of them put these notices in the closest United States post office. This is an excellent place to begin a search of upcoming auctions in your area. In addition, the notice must also be placed in a local newspaper at least once a week for four consecutive weeks.

It is important to note the time and place of upcoming auctions, as they will vary, especially for non-judicial foreclosures. In this case, it is usually the attorney representing the lender who schedules and presides over the auction. On the date of the auction, ownership is normally transferred to the highest bidder immediately after payment, with junior liens usually cleared from the title.

If you're interested in purchasing a judicial foreclosure, please note the original owners have the right of redemption for 12 months after the date of the auction. In this situation, the original borrowers must pay not only the sales price, but also eight percent interest and other miscellaneous fees. During this time period, the winning bidder of the auction does not receive ownership of the property, but rather, a certificate of sale, which will result in ownership should the original owners fail to redeem their property in the specified amount of time.
