HUD Schedules Multi-Million Dollar HECM Loan Sales for Late 2026
With approximately 5,500 residential mortgage loans hitting the market, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is preparing to auction off its non-vacant and vacant Home Equity Conversion Mortgage portfolios, signaling a significant shift in the agency's management of properties where original borrowers are deceased.

Participants must navigate new regulatory hurdles to finalize bids. All interested entities are required to provide formal attestation of compliance with Executive Order 14376 and Title X of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. These provisions, intended to prioritize individual homeowners over institutional investors, reflect the agency's current mandate under the "Home-Ownership for Main Street America" policy. Information for prospective bidders is currently available through the Office of Asset Sales.
