Distressed Property Defined

What is a Short Sale?
In the past it was rare that a bank or lender would accept a short sale, however, due to overwhelming market changes lenders have become much more negotiable when it comes to these transactions.
A homeowner is 'short' when:
When a borrower owes an amount on his property that when combined with closing costs and commission is higher than current market value.
A short sale occurs when:
A negotiation is entered into with the homeowner's mortgage company or companies to accept less than the full balance of the laon at closing. A buyer closes on the property and the property is 'sold short'.
