Should I Short Sale My Home?
Is a short sale right for you?
It is well known that many financial institutions sold mortgages in a deceptive manner-
approving people for loans they couldn't really afford.
Over 2.9 million homes have foreclosed in the last three years
and the number is growing…
Foreclosure isn’t the only option
Sometimes short selling simply makes smart economic sense
Especially for homeowners who find themselves "upside down"
That is, they owe more on their mortgage than their house is worth.
What is a Short Sale?
A short sale is when a lender accepts a discount on a mortgage to avoid a possible foreclosure auction or bankruptcy.
For example: A homeowner, who is facing foreclosure, has an existing first mortgage of $500,000.
and market value of the home is $350,000
Long story short, the lender accepts the offer for $350,000 and the home is sold.
That’s a short sale.
According to national experts, after a short sale, a person’s credit will go down by 300 + or - points and prevents them from buying using a government backed mortgage
for up to 24 months.
With a foreclosure,
credit is damaged for up to 4
years preventing
someone from obtaining a
government-backed
mortgage.
