After a trustee's sale is completed on a Kirkland, Washington property under RCW Chapter 61.24, the former homeowner asks her broker whether she has the right to redeem the property by paying off the debt within a statutory period after the sale. What is the correct answer?

Correct Answer

D) No, there is no statutory right of redemption after a non-judicial trustee's sale in Washington

Under RCW Chapter 61.24, there is no statutory right of redemption after a completed non-judicial trustee's sale in Washington. Once the trustee's sale is finalized, the former owner has no legal right to reclaim the property by paying off the debt. This is a critical distinction from judicial foreclosure states, which often provide statutory redemption periods of 6 to 12 months.

Answer Options
A
Yes, she has 6 months after the sale to redeem if the property was her primary residence
B
No, but she may petition the superior court within 30 days to set aside the sale
C
Yes, she has 12 months after the sale to redeem the property by paying the full debt
D
No, there is no statutory right of redemption after a non-judicial trustee's sale in Washington

A conventional loan is a mortgage that is not insured or guaranteed by a government agency such as the FHA, VA, or USDA. It is originated and funded by private lenders and may be conforming or non-conforming.

The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) compares a borrower's monthly debt obligations to their gross monthly income. It is used by lenders to determine how much mortgage a borrower can afford.

In the context of foreclosure, a deed transfers ownership of the foreclosed property to the new owner, typically the buyer at a foreclosure sale.
