What is Real Estate Short Sale?

Short Sale is a process that allows owners to sell their properties for less than they owe. Most of the time the lenders accept the short sale and they take the discount on a mortgage to avoid a possible foreclosure auction or bankruptcy. Why are they willing to take such a discount? Several reasons. First of all, banks do not like excess inventory and bad loans on their books; therefore, if they see an opportunity where they can sell the property without a huge loss, they will do it. Secondly, lenders know they could lose a lot more money if the property goes to auction. There are so many fees involved if the property goes to auction, that they would be better off taking the discount beforehand and be finished with the headache of it all.

 

Short Sale is the best option for all homeowners who are upside down, or are unable to make their payments. Once a short sale is successfully closed, you will be able to repair your credit in a short amount of time compared to the amount of time when facing a foreclosure on your record.
