The right of redemption is a legal provision that allows homeowners to reclaim their foreclosed property under certain conditions. Here’s how it applies in New Jersey:

Definition and Application:

• Reclaiming Property: The right of redemption enables homeowners to pay off the total mortgage debt and reclaim their property.
• Post-Foreclosure: In New Jersey, this right is typically available up until the foreclosure sale is completed.

Conditions and Limitations:

• Full Payment: Homeowners must pay the full mortgage balance, including interest, fees, and other costs.
• Time-Sensitive: This right is time-sensitive and must be exercised before the foreclosure sale is finalized.

Strategic Considerations:

• Legal Guidance: Consulting with an attorney can provide insights into the feasibility and implications of exercising this right.

Impact of Redemption:
