Is A Short Sale For Me?
Who benefits from a short sale?
Sellers avoid foreclosure and protect their credit from the harder hit of foreclosure.
Buyers receive a good price on the home.
Lenders avoid a costly foreclosure. The potential loss from a foreclosure is typically higher than a loss from a short sale.
How it works
Say you owe $200,000 on your home and can no longer make the mortgage payments. One option is to refinance your home and secure a lower payment based on a longer-term or better interest rate. But if your property has lost value due to local market conditions (say it would sell for only $150,000), refinancing isn't feasible. If the bank agrees to a sale at $150,000, it's called a short sale. Although short sales have become more common in recent years, banks don't always grant them. In general, they approve short sales in these situations:- Seller has a hardship (such as divorce, bankruptcy, unemployment, job relocation).
- Seller owes more on the mortgage than the home's current market value.
- A mortgage is in or near default status.
- Seller has no assets.
- However, different banks and lenders have different requirements. So sellers should discuss the short sale option with their lender.
- Short sales can present a great deal for buyers. But the process is a bit more complicated than a normal home purchase, and it will take patience.
