Can I Sell My Home If It’s In Foreclosure in Oregon?

Can I Sell My House in Foreclosure in Oregon?

Are you behind on mortgage payments and worried about losing your home to foreclosure?
You’re not alone—and you still have options.

At MyPropertyHelp.com, we work directly with Oregon homeowners who are facing foreclosure and need a fast, stress-free way out. Whether you’ve missed a few payments or your auction date is already scheduled, you may still be able to sell your house and avoid foreclosure entirely.

Let’s break down how the process works, your rights under Oregon foreclosure law, and what to do next.

What Is Foreclosure in Oregon?

Foreclosure is the legal process lenders use to repossess a property when a borrower falls behind on payments.
In Oregon, most foreclosures are non-judicial, meaning they happen outside of the court system. Once a lender files a Notice of Default, they can move forward with a foreclosure sale (often called a trustee sale).

But here’s the key: you still legally own your house until the day it sells at auction—which means you can still sell it.

Can I Really Sell My House Before Foreclosure in Oregon?

Yes, you can.

As long as your home hasn’t gone to auction yet, you have the right to sell it. In fact, selling before foreclosure is often the smartest way to avoid long-term financial damage.

Here’s why many Oregon homeowners choose to sell before foreclosure:

• Avoid a foreclosure mark on your credit
• Prevent further damage to your financial future
• Eliminate late fees and lender pressure
• Stay in control of the sale—on your terms
• Possibly walk away with some cash in hand

We’ve helped homeowners in Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro,Eugene,Seaside, and across the state sell fast—even days before auction.

When Is the Best Time to Sell a Home in Foreclosure?

As soon as possible.

The earlier you act, the more solutions are available. If you’re already in default or approaching auction, time is critical.

We’ve worked with sellers at all stages:

• Just fell behind on payments
• Received a Notice of Default
• Facing auction in a few weeks

Even if your auction is coming up fast, there may still be a window to act. The sooner you contact us, the more likely we can help stop the sale.

What If I Owe More Than the House Is Worth?

If your mortgage balance is higher than what your home will sell for, that’s called being underwater.

We may still help via:

• Negotiating a short sale with your lender
• Exploring subject-to or creative financing options
• Referring you to trusted real estate partners if an open-market sale is better
