Ready to buy a short sale?
A short sale means the seller's lender has agreed to receive a reduced sum to release a mortgage.
Are they good deals?
Sometimes. Often times people hear the phrase "short sale" and instinctively think of a seller that is in trouble and needs to sell their house quickly to prevent further financial problems. This is at times the case and can be an opportunity for a buyer to take advantage of another's misfortune. In contrast, a lender may consider a short sale even if the seller isn't delinquent with their payments, but property values have declined. In cases such as these the "bargain" price may in fact be in line with current market values rather than below.
