What’s a short sale?
Put simply, A short sale allows homeowners to sell their property for less than they owe.
Here, we explain how A SHORT SALE WORKS AND WHY YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM ONE.
Understanding the Short Sale
In certain qualifying cases where a homeowner owes more on their home than what it is worth today, a lender may allow that homeowner to sell the property for less than the mortgage balance and accept a short sale. A short sale allows the homeowner to sell their home to a buyer, thereby avoiding a lengthy foreclosure process that can be damaging to credit and future ability to purchase real estate.
Qualifying for a Short Sale
To qualify for a short sale as a homeowner, you must meet three simple requirements:
- One, you must have a financial hardship for a verifiable reason why you are unable to pay your mortgage payment,
- Two, you must have insolvency or in the eyes of the bank you must not have the cash or assets to pay off your mortgage balance,
- And three, you must have a monthly shortfall for verifiable financials that show that each month you can’t afford all of your monthly payment obligations, including your mortgage.
