Short Sale Definition:
Short Sales occur when a seller is in pre-foreclosure (missing payments) and places their home on the real estate market. Their real estate agent operates as a negotiator on the seller's behalf with the lender. A buyer is found to purchase the property (at less than what the current owner owes) and the lender agrees to accept a discounted payoff. The seller's debt is forgiven, but their credit history is impacted. Short sales typically cost sellers nothing, but they also make nothing on the sale.
The primary advantage of a short sale is that a borrower can typically obtain a loan and purchase a new property in less time than with a foreclosure.
