In Florida, the amount of time a Homeowner has if there is a Foreclosure Sale can vary. Generally, the Court will set a date between 45 to 120 days from the date of a Final Judgment of Foreclosure. If during this time, they are not attempting a Loan Modification or selling their property via Short Sale, it will be unlikely that it will be cancelled. As a result, they will lose their property. Therefore, it is important that they try to complete the Modification or Short Sale.
