If a lender decides to foreclose an Iowa home without redemption, its owner may still have the chance to reclaim their property in certain circumstances.

Homeowners whose homes are “foreclosed judicially without redemption” may demand to delay the sale of their home. Failing to file a written demand will put the home immediately into sale. Homeowners who demand to delay the sale of their home may be given up to 12 months to reclaim their home. However, homeowners are only given up to six months to redeem their home if the petition has a “right to deficiency judgment” waiver. Homeowners also may recover their home if they immediately settle their debts to their lenders.
