Market Conditions Effect on Homeowners
The real estate marketplace has undergone dramatic changes in recent months. More and more buyers are finding themselves in homes they can no longer afford and or which are now worth less than what is owed. In many cases this was made worse by mortgage rate adjustments which lead to payment increases. As a result, borrowers are unable to pay their mortgages and default rates have skyrocketed.
Even borrowers who are capable of paying their mortgage are under a great deal of pressure. They do not want to continue paying a mortgage on a property worth less than what they owe.
Risks
Not being proactive under these circumstances is quite risky given the severe consequences following mortgage default, especially given the long lasting impact from the information which remains on the credit report for years.
Lack of knowledge regarding available solutions shouldn’t be a deterrent in motivating property owners to actively seek a solution.
What is a Short Sale?
A ‘short sale’ occurs when a bank accepts a discount on a mortgage to avoid a possible foreclosure or bankruptcy. Often a bank will choose to allow a short sale if they believe that it will result in a smaller financial loss than foreclosing. For the home owner, the advantages include avoidance of having a foreclosure on their credit history and the partial control of the monetary deficiency. Additionally, a short sale is typically faster and less expensive than a foreclosure. Many homeowners have been unfortunate enough to be living in homes worth less than they bought them for just a few years ago.

The banks do not like excess inventory and delinquent loans on their books. They know that taking control of a foreclosed property is an expensive and time consuming liability. .There are many fees involved like property taxes, liens, and repairs. Banks do not want to be responsible for property management as it’s not part of their core business practice. They often are better off taking the minimal loss beforehand and be finished with the ordeal.
Why Shoud I Choose a Short Sale?
Short Sales are usually undertaken because the homeowner is out of options and does not want to experience the tragedy caused by home foreclosure.
