History of Foreclosures in Weston Florida

Weston was hit hard by the foreclosure crisis that swept through South Florida starting in 2007, and there are still many homeowners in the midst of battling foreclosure actions brought against them by banks and loan servicers. Weston has a very diverse population, and the properties in Weston range everywhere from 100k to many millions of dollars.  In large part the prices have recovered dramatically since the low point in early 2012.  As of April 1, 2017 the Zillow Home Value Index for Weston is $407,000 compared to $205,000 for Florida and $282,000 for Fort Lauderdale.  The last time Zillow Home Value Index for Weston was at $407,000 was around September 2007.  Many homeowners have managed to get out from under their previously underwater mortgages, but just as many more have been in default for so long that the added interest and fees may prevent them from breaking even.

Common Foreclosure Defenses in Florida

There are many defenses your Weston foreclosure lawyer may be able to use to defend against a foreclosure action that has been filed against you. The facts of your case will determine which defenses are available, but some of the defenses our lawyers often raise in residential foreclosure defense cases include:

  • Conditions precedent:  bank fails to take the preliminary steps, they are required to take before foreclosing
  • Res Judicata: If the bank has foreclosed on you before, they may be barred from bringing a new action against you for the same mortgage payments.
  • Novation: As a general principle, a party cannot sue to enforce a contract if the parties have agreed to another contract to replace the original.
  • Accord and Satisfaction: This defense may be available if you’ve refinanced your original promissory note
  • Statute of Limitations: Each type of lawsuit has a statute of limitations, which requires that a party bring a lawsuit within a certain amount of time or the claim will be unenforceable.
