SHORT SALES ESCROW

SHORT SALE ESCROW

A short sale is a real estate sale in which the home’s sale price is less than the amount still owed on the property’s loan. Homeowners alone cannot decide to do a short sale, as this type of transaction requires the lender’s approval. If approved, the lender agrees to accept any available equity while the seller receives no money from the proceeds of the sale. At the very least, a short sale releases the lien on the property so it can be sold, although many lenders also release the seller from owing any remaining balance after the sale.

Why Choose a Short Sale?

There are many reasons a homeowner may choose to do a short sale. This type of transaction may do less damage to the seller’s credit score than a foreclosure, and it can be less expensive. It can also be easier to obtain a new mortgage after a short sale as opposed to a foreclosure. In some cases, it is possible to get a new loan immediately after a short sale instead of waiting up to four years or more because of the credit repercussions.
