Short Sale for Sellers

During the past three years, more than 640,000 Californians have lost their homes. Additionally, experts predict more foreclosures to continue well into 2012. However, many homeowners can avoid foreclosures by opting for a short sale.
In short sales, homeowners who meet the following three requirements, have the ability to negotiate a contract in which they are able to sell their home for less than the balance owed.
Homeowners must:
 1. Experience a hardship
 2. Have expenses exceed income
 3. All debts must exceed all assets

Although not every homeowner or mortgage is eligible, those who are able to finalize a short sale avoid a foreclosure on their credit record, and can move on with their lives. 
30% of homeowners owe more than their home is worth.*
Last year, 20 % of home sales in our state involved short sales.*
 
Many home owners are delaying the inevitable by cashing out hard earned retirement accounts, using credit cards to pay bills and borrowing money from family members to try to keep their heads above water. For most homeowners, the financial relief they experience from a short sale is all that is needed to relieve their hardships.
