WAUKESHA - A lending company that handled the mortgage of state Rep.
Scott Newcomer, R-Delafield, has filed a foreclosure on his former
home in Elm Grove.
Huntington Mortgage Group filed foreclosure papers Friday against
Newcomer in Waukesha County Circuit Court, alleging he owes $284,689
on a property he owns at 1450 Victoria Circle North, Elm Grove.
According to the documents, Newcomer took out a loan of $313,000
in 2003 to pay for the property. He moved to Delafield in 2005 amid
controversy that he didn’t live in the district that he was
elected to represent.
However, Newcomer said Wednesday he has been working through a
short sale of the house and all three parties involved have come to
an agreement to close on the deal Feb. 27, after dealing with four
months of issues with the property.
