Peggy Tanous Receives Foreclosure Date

Peggy Tanous, the latest housewife to join the Real Housewives of Orange County, has received notice that her house has been scheduled to be sold at a foreclosure auction later this month..We previously reported that the house was in default on the mortgage.

The home, below, was purchased in 2006 for $1,379,000 from Lennar Homes of California. The loan was for $1 million. The bank says that as of the recent foreclosure notice, she owes $1,318,253.

The auction was set for March 17, but it's not unusual for these dates to be postponed. We'll keep track.

We reached out to Tanous for comment last time but never heard back either from her or anyone at Bravo TV.

We'd still love to tell her side.

Jim & Alexis Bellino Home Foreclosure Canceled

The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Jim and Alexis Bellino have claimed all along that reports of their filing for bankruptcy and losing a $5 million home to foreclosure have been greatly exaggerated, and judging from the fact that the home is no longer scheduled for auction, it appears they were right!

According to The Orange County Register the auction has been canceled and the Newport Beach home is being offered as a short sale for $3.395 million. Here is the official statement from the Bellino’s lawyer, Michael York:

“Some media reports have speculated that Mr. and Mrs. Bellino are having financial problems, which have resulted in issues between them and Chase. The speculation is inaccurate. Mr. and Mrs. Bellino do not have and have never had financial problems, and the issues between them and Chase are due to good business decisions that Mr. and Mrs. Bellino have made, not financial problems.

“The property was never going to be foreclosed against. Mr. and Mrs. Bellino have been negotiating with Chase for months, an agreement with Chase has been reached, and the issues between them and Chase have been resolved."
