What is a Short Sale: Properties that are in default, meaning the current owner is at least 3 months behind on their mortgage or more. Short sale's require the lender approve the sale if the amount the property is selling for is less than what is owed. I recommend these to our clients when it is a property that they absolutely love and are willing to wait on. Many times it can take 3 to 6 months to get the lender to approve a short sale, and even though its under contract between the buyer and the current seller, the lender can still say no in the end! However, in many cases banks are now being incentivized by the government to approve short sales. If it's a property that the buyer isn't that crazy about, they are probably not worth the time and effort. However, sometimes waiting and being patient, can not only get you a great deal, but a great home that you love all in one.
