Massachusetts is a non-judicial foreclosure state. A power-of-sale foreclosure, preceded by a Servicemembers proceeding, commonly takes around four to six months. The borrower's right of redemption ends at the foreclosure sale; there is no statutory post-sale redemption. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.
Massachusetts allows non-judicial foreclosure under the mortgage's power of sale, with a required Servicemembers Civil Relief Act proceeding and statutory notice before the sale. It avoids a full court action but still runs several months.
