A short sale occurs when a lender agrees to accept a less than a person owes on a property(basically you owe more on your mortgage(s) than your homes current market value) and so you can't sell your home without a loss! Banks agree to short sales order to cut
their losses* and avoid a costly foreclosure procedure. As noted above this is usually done when a home owner is in difficult financial circumstances and owes more than the value of their property.
* bank losses include negative equity which must eventually be charged off on their balance sheet and that means they can loan less so their potential losses are greater than just negative equity
• What are the qualifications for a Short Sale?
The borrower MUST be in some type of financial hardship, and be in a position where they MUST sell their home. A financial hardship can include a loss of employment or income, divorce, relocation, increased medical expenses or illness in family, poor condition of property without resources to make repairs, or even vacant investment properties that are damaged or can't be rented.
