A house for sale in the small town of Nunn, Colorado has people online scratching their heads, and honestly, we get it. The listing tells potential buyers they cannot see inside the home, cannot inspect it, and cannot expect the current resident to be gone when they move in. If that sounds like something out of a horror movie trailer, you are not alone in thinking so.
The home belongs to Tori McMachin, who has lived there for years and says it was the last thing her late husband bought for her before he died in a car crash. She raised her children in that house, and she has no intention of leaving quietly, telling a local reporter flat out that she is not going anywhere willingly. The property has been tangled up in foreclosure proceedings for more than 15 years, reported Next 9News. McMachin says the loan was originally taken out with her husband's name on it back in 2006, and after his death the bank would not work with her as the surviving spouse. She claims she stopped paying because the bank refused to accept her payments, which is a frustrating spot to be in no matter which side of that story you land on.
She has fought the foreclosure in court multiple times and won, but recently lost an appeal, which is what pushed the listing onto the market with her still inside. She is now hanging her hopes on a 2024 Colorado law that guarantees evicted tenants the right to a jury trial.

Is this because Colorado is not a community property state? It's a joke to put it up for sale in the circumstances.
If the bank refused payments, then the bank should lose, IMHO.
Yes, amd the headline is mislasing I expected a story about a squatter, who if they came with the property, would have sold themself ino slavery.
who is the owner/seller?
Make sure you dont skimp on the title insurance if you buy it.
I think it’s the bank.
Agreed. Obviously we may not know the entire story but it could be they did something shady. We’ve seen it happen before.

_______________________________________________
I thought it was about a squatter, too. But the article which follows is about squatters that keep coming back.
If it was some other state than Colorado, she might not be going through this.Can’t understand any reason why posession wouldn’t be hers.
Once the bank calls the note due, they have every right to refuse payments. In fact they have to.
My guess is the wife was making timely payments. Nor did she have to.
Oops.
My guess is the wife was NOT making timely payments. Nor did she have to.
I know some Bandidos that would make sure they left and never came back.
“If the bank refused payments, then the bank should lose, IMHO.”
They (apparently) refused HER PAYMENTS. What were “her payments”, maybe 10 cents on the dollar, who knows? I suspect she simply cannot afford to keep living there, or maybe just doesn’t want to pay the full amount.
“If the bank refused payments, then the bank should lose, IMHO.”
We are not getting the full story. Banks would not normally refuse payment. In the interview she said she paid the loan.
“Once the bank calls the note due, “
They have to have a legal reason to call it due.
Granny needs a 12 gauge.
“My guess is the wife was making timely payments.”
There would be no problem if she was making timely payments.
“Nor did she have to.”
She doesn’t have to but if she wants to keep the house she sure dang should.
“I know some Bandidos that would make sure they left and never came back.”
If you had read the article you wouldn’t have made that stupid comment.
and the bank would not be the owner/seller unless a foreclorsure had been completed. Maybe it did, I dunno. The whole situation is kinda confusing.
