When FidelityASAP posts that a trustee sale has been postponed due to "mutual agreement", what does that mean?
Mutual agreement usually means the bank/trustee has agreed with the debtor to postpone it. They could either be in the process of a loan mod, a payment plan, or in the process of a short sale. I'm not 100% positive that the remarks there always mean something specific or not, because the beneficiary could postpone it for the same reasons. I think mutual agreement means that they are for sure working with the debtor.
Also has anyone noticed a pattern in postponements? For example, does the bank normally do three then foreclosure or is it totally random?
It is fairly common to be postponed at least two or three times, and on the rare occasion it will go on the first day. These are the ones who truly have mailed the keys back, or it is the second or third time it has been in foreclosure. The postponements are the reason why there are almost 4500 OC properties scheduled at just the Santa Ana location.
