Virginia is a State on the east coast of USA's border with the Atlantic Ocean. It has sometimes been nicknamed the "mother of Presidents" since a surprisingly high number of presidents have been born there, eight in total. The State has a population of over eight million and the most populous city within it is the city of Virginia Beach. It was one of the first thirteen States to be formed and was part of the American Revolution. The General Assembly of Virginia is the oldest existing one in the USA and has also been named the most effective many times. The State capital is the city of Richmond, and the State has borders with both Maryland and Washington D.C to the north and the west. The geography of the State is generally defined by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay. The climate of the State is reasonably hot and humid, and gets even more so the further south and east you go, as the temperature is largely affected by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.
Virginia is an expensive State to buy a property in, with the average price of a mere one bedroom house being $284,776, which is very high for such a small house. However, weirdly, the average price for a two bedroom home is $264,357, which is lower despite the fact that it is a larger house! This is due to the fact that most of the one bedroom homes come in the forms of flats, condos or apartments which could be in the middle of one of the large cities, making them more expensive. The average price for a three bedroom home is $318, 495 and for a four bedroom home it is a huge price of $470,502! However, recently, these prices have started to drop a little and the place is gradually becoming a cheaper place to live and still managing to stay a highly desirable place to own a home.
The state of Virginia allows for both judicial and non-judicial foreclosures to occur. A judicial foreclosure usually occurs when a mortgage lacks a Power of Sale clause. This clause generally allows the lender the right to foreclose without obtaining a court order. The judicial foreclosure proceeds like any other suit, with the lender filing a complaint against a defaulted borrower (homeowner). The court then hears the case and if it decides that a default has occurred, the court rules in favor of the lender and schedules a foreclosure sale of the homeowner's property.
The non-judicial (or Power of Sale) foreclosure is more common in Virginia. In this case, the lender must first issue a Notice of Default to the homeowner, informing them of the debt owed and the lender's intent to foreclose. If the lender does not receive payment of the default amount within 30 days of issuing the Notice of Default, the lender may schedule a foreclosure sale.
In either a judicial or non-judicial scenario, the homeowner has the power to halt the foreclosure at any point up until the sale by paying off the default debt owed to the lender.
In order to properly advertise the foreclosure, a Notice of Sale must be published in a local newspaper of substantial circulation for a set period of time, usually outlined by the court or in the mortgage agreement. In addition, the homeowner must be served with a Notice of Sale no less than 14 days before the sale is to occur. Any other guidelines for advertisement outlined by an individual mortgage or the court must be followed. The sale may not be postponed, but may be cancelled, in which case the process of foreclosure must begin anew.
On the day of the sale, a trustee of the lender auctions off the homeowner's property to the highest bidder. If no one bids, the property goes to the lender. Once payment for the winning bid is procured, full ownership of the property is awarded to the winning bidder.
Generally, the original homeowner retains no right to redemption once the sale is complete. The lender may pursue a deficiency judgment against the original homeowner for any debt not satisfied by the foreclosure sale of the property.
