SHORT SELLING MAY BE A GOOD OPTION

There’s encouraging news for the homeowners who need to get out from under a mortgage they can no longer afford.  More banks are agreeing to “short sales” instead of going through the foreclosure  process.  This provides the homeowner a way out and it helps the bank avoid the costly foreclosure process.  Short sale closings are up 19%.  As a general rule of thumb, they sell at a 21% discount when compared to a normal “arms length”sale.   National stats show that foreclosures sell at a 40% discount.
