Foreclosure Prevention for Tobyhanna Homeowners

Tobyhanna Township is the backbone of Monroe County's working-class community. Anchored by the Tobyhanna Army Depot — one of the largest employers in northeastern Pennsylvania — the area has long attracted military families and civilian workers looking for affordable housing in the Poconos. During the housing boom, developers built subdivision after subdivision across Tobyhanna's landscape, marketing new-construction homes to families relocating from the New York metro area who wanted space, lower taxes, and a quieter life. Many of those homes were purchased with little money down and adjustable-rate mortgages that became unaffordable once rates reset.

Today, Tobyhanna faces a foreclosure challenge unlike any other community in Monroe County. The combination of newer developments that lost value almost immediately, military families dealing with PCS transfers that forced them to leave homes they couldn't sell, and working-class households hit hard by economic downturns has created a perfect storm. The Monroe County Sheriff's office regularly lists Tobyhanna addresses among its scheduled sheriff sales, and many homeowners in the township don't realize that Pennsylvania's Act 91 notice gives them a critical 30-day window to seek help before the formal foreclosure process begins.

PA Property Rescue has helped numerous Tobyhanna families find a way out of foreclosure. We understand the reality of this community — the newer homes in developments like Emerald Lakes and Mountain View, the financial pressures that come with military life, and the challenge of selling a home in an area where supply often outpaces demand. Whether you need a short sale to eliminate an underwater mortgage, a loan modification to lower your payments, or a fast cash offer on a property with equity, we'll walk you through every option.

Local Context

Foreclosure in Monroe County

Rising Foreclosure Filings

Monroe County has seen a significant increase in foreclosure filings. Tobyhanna Township, with its large inventory of homes built during the boom years, has been hit especially hard. Many of these properties were purchased with minimal down payments and adjustable-rate mortgages that became unmanageable.

Underwater Mortgages

Many Tobyhanna homeowners are underwater on mortgages taken during the Poconos boom. Subdivisions built between 2003 and 2007 saw some of the steepest price declines in the county, and recovery has been slow. Homeowners who put little or nothing down are now deeply upside-down.

Diversion Program

The Mortgage Foreclosure Diversion Program at Monroe County Court can help buy time. Tobyhanna residents facing foreclosure can participate in this court-supervised mediation program at the Monroe County Courthouse in Stroudsburg, where a conciliator helps homeowners and lenders reach alternatives to sheriff sale.

Act 91 Notice

Under Pennsylvania law, your lender must send an Act 91 Notice before filing foreclosure. This gives you a 30-day window to contact a housing counseling agency and apply for HEMAP assistance. For Tobyhanna homeowners, this notice is your first and best opportunity to get help — don't ignore it. Call us immediately.

"My husband works at the Depot and when I lost my job, we just couldn't keep up with both the mortgage and the HOA fees in our development. We were months behind and the bank stopped taking our calls. PA Property Rescue stepped in, got the bank to agree to a short sale, and handled everything from start to finish. We were terrified of losing everything, but they made sure we landed on our feet. Thank you doesn't begin to cover it."
