The Holiday Freeze
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are placing a hold on all foreclosure through the holidays. The freeze will begin on the 26th of November, one day before the Thanksgiving Holiday and will continue through January 9th. This break will allow servicers more time to implement a program for homeowners who need a loan modification, and in the mean time allow homeowners to remain in their homes and have a chance to be a part of the program. It sounds like a move they shouold have made back in September, but I suppose its better late than not at all.
