What is a short sale?

We got tangled up in a short sale in Apex two years ago for 7 months, and couldn't get it bought. What a circus! My husband says never again, and I agree.

avrila and adele, the anti-short sale buyers!

Good one, Jammer.
I think a lot of people will want to join, after riding the short sale roller coasters!

thanks for all the encouragement! LOL

that house had foundation issues. We arent worried about the short sales as much as the condition of the house. No foundation issues for us.

Good for you. My brother bought a short sale in Cary, and it was OK, but they kissed a lot of frogs before they found that one.
He says he probably wouldn't go through the short sale hassle again.

Useful post.

In a short sale , the loaner of a property/home allows the property to be sold for less than the amount due on the mortgage loan. It’s helpful to seller to avoid the credit report damage associated with a foreclosure.

The home is listed as a short sale when the home being offered for sale is offered for sale at a listed price which is in fact less than the amount the owner/seller of the home owes on the loan attached to the home. A licensed Real Estate broker can in most situations sell your home as a short sale if your individual circumstances meet the criteria necessary.
How the Short Sale Works

We made an offer on a short sale house.

it was a little ridiculous. No communication. No nothing.
After sitting in limbo for four months, we found another home and cancelled the short sale contract.
And it worked out for the best. We think we got a very fair deal on a better home.
