A "normal" sale is one where the seller has equity in their home and is not in a situation where if they don't sell the home will be taken from them by their creditors. Oftentimes after an inspection has been done by a professional inspector, if their are any needed repairs, they can be negotiated with the seller to make the needed repairs.
A short sale is often called a "pre-foreclosure" as well, which means that the person selling their home is asking their lender that loan them the money to "short" the amount that they are owed, or take less than the amount owed, in order to not have the property be taken by the bank in a foreclosure. These are usually sold in as is condition with no repairs being made by the sellers. A foreclosure in Southern Oregon is when a homeowner did not make their payments for an extended period of time, often times the home will have some deferred maintenance as they did not have money to keep the house maintenance up. These are usually sold in as is condition.
