Family Gets to Keep 'Extreme Makeover' Home
After years of struggling to pay the mortgage on their "dream home," the Wofford family of Encinitas, Calif., has avoided eviction, just in time for the holidays.
Bob Wofford, a widowed father of eight, is behind $770,000 in mortgage payments on the house that was renovated for free on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" five years ago. The house was to be auctioned Dec. 14, but Wofford accepted a last-minute modification from the bank that could become permanent, a story by San Deigo News said.
At least six of the hundreds of families who have gotten new homes from the ABC show have received media attention for subsequent financial problems, the story said.
