Should I buy a short sale?  What about selling my house as a short sale? What is a short sale anyway? 

Definition of a Short Sale

A Short sale occurs when all of the following are in place at the same time:

  1. The Seller owes more money on a house than it is worth under current market conditions
  2. For one reason or another a Seller must sell the property
  3. The Seller does not have the finances (savings, etc) to bring money to closing to pay off the mortgage at the time of the sale.
  4. The Seller's lender or lenders agree to accept less than what is owed on the mortgage
  5. The property is marketed through a local Real Estate Agent
  6. A qualified buyer presents an offer and the lender or lenders agree to accept the offer
  7. Escrow closes within a certain amount of time dictated by the Lender(s)
