This year, 2010, of the total sales in Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach, one half were either homes that were bank owned (REOs) or short sales (pre-foreclosure). And Half of those sales were foreclosures, the very last option for a home owner.
Selling your home as a short sale is the better option. Below are four good reasons why.
1) After a short sale, if you were current on your mortgage payment; you may qualify immediately for a new home loan. After a foreclosure, the time period to buy another home is from 5 to 7 years.
2) Short sales are seldom reported to the credit bureaus,
but foreclosures are always reported.
3) Normally, a lender will not file a deficiency judgment after a short sale, but one is always filed after a foreclosure. The foreclosed home owner can be liable for thousands of
dollars until the judgment is paid to the lender.
4) New loan applications require disclosure of a previous foreclosed home. The application does not inquire about previous homes involving short sales. Ref: About.com
Please give me a call if you have any questions about short sales.
