Because, of the redemption period, a sale will not occur 1-3 months after the judgment is given. Sometimes the judge will even extend the redemption period.

    IN ILLINOIS:

    REDEMPTION RIGHTS

    The owner and a senior lien holder can redeem the property prior to the auction. The redemption period is the later of:

    1) 7 months from the date of service of the complaint.

    2) 3 months from the date of judgment.

    There are two (2) exceptions to the periods listed above they are:

    1) 60 days after judgment if the court finds the value of the real estate is 90% of the judgment amount. See consent foreclosure.

    2) 30 days after the judgment if the property has been determined to be abandoned.

    The redemption period can be extended by order of the court. It must be a specific order.

    SPECIAL RIGHTS TO REDEEM WHEN BANK WINS THE BID

    If the bank wins the bid, the previous owner shall have a special right to redeem the property for a period of thirty days after the confirmation of sale.

    REQUIREMENTS TO REDEEM PROPERTY

    The homeowner must pay the attorney for the bank the required amount within the period of redemption.

    If the bank refuses to accept payment or if the owner objects to fees, then the owner shall pay the full amount into court along with a written statement specifying the objection.

    The clerk will then forward to the bank all nonobjected to funds. The clerk will then give a receipt to the owner redeeming the foreclosure and file the receipt in the foreclosure record. The bank must then promptly furnish the owner with a release.

    Objection Procedure

    1) Clerk holds the amount objected to.

    2) Hearing is scheduled

    3) Court makes order determining what needs to be paid
