Rising living costs are causing many Americans to fall behind on mortgage payments. In February, mortgage delinquencies increased, with a sharp rise in “severely delinquent” loans, especially Federal Housing Authority loans. While overall rates remain below pre-pandemic levels, the threat of foreclosure is stressful and real for many. Experts emphasize the importance of contacting your mortgage servicer immediately if you’re struggling to pay. Early communication opens up options such as loan forbearance, modification, or temporarily postponing payments. Preparing documentation of hardship—like job loss, medical issues, or other setbacks—helps lenders understand your situation and tailor solutions.

Most borrowers who are 30 to 60 days late can get back on track, but after 90 days, foreclosure risks increase. If foreclosure seems likely, selling your home can protect your credit, reduce collection pressure, and provide funds for rent while rebuilding financial stability. Alternatives include deed in lieu of foreclosure or short sales if your home’s value is less than what you owe. Free counseling services are available to guide you through your options and state foreclosure laws.

“It’s much better to sell than lose your home to foreclosure,” says David Dworkin. Taking early action reduces stress and preserves your financial future. If mortgage worries keep you up at night, reach out for help immediately.
