Sacramento CA - First, it benefits the owner of the loan. This is because they get to sell the house at today's price, versus what it will be worth 6-12 months down the road. I just did a comparison and pulled up sold listings.
All of the listings were the similar properties in similar neighborhoods. First, I looked up the average selling price per SQFT of homes that sold in Spring. They sold for an average of $103 a SQFT.
Then, I pulled up homes in the same neighborhoods that sold as REOs in the last 2 months. They are sold for an average of $85 a SQFT. These homes average 1,700 a SQFT. That means a 1,700 REO sold for $30,600 less. Ouch!
The other person that's getting value is the buyer. They get a better deal in today's market than buying a home from someone who is trying to squeeze out every penny.
You, the seller also benefit. You will be eligible to buy another home in 24 months. You have a better chance of getting a job, because many employers check that nowadays. A short sale is a win - win for everyone involved.
