In a short sale, a seller facing potential foreclosure strikes a deal with their mortgage lender to accept less than what they owe on the property, in exchange for avoiding foreclosure.
What Are The Benefits Of A Short Sale?
+ Foreclosure is avoided. When a seller forecloses, the negative item is listed on their credit report and greatly affects their credit score. It can remain on a credit report for 7 years.
+ Although a short sale has an adverse effect on a seller's credit score, the seller can be approved for a new home loan in as little as two years as opposed to the 7 years a foreclosure is listed on a credit report.
+ The seller has control over their move out date, rather than being evicted.
+ The buyer picks up the property at a discount, and the lien holder avoids taking on the financial burden of having to unload the foreclosed home.
