If you are barely holding on to your luxury property and its value has dropped tremendously, you may qualify for a short sale in Maryland. A short sale takes place when a lender allows a borrower to sell their property short, for an amount lower than the remaining loan balance.

Short Sales in the NEWS!
(CNNMoney) — Bank of America is offering some struggling homeowners payments of up to $30,000 if they sell their homes in a short sale and avoid ending up in foreclosure.
Under the plan, Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) will offer homeowners so-called relocation payments of between $2,500 and $30,000 if they sell their home in a short sale. In short sale deals, the sale price of the home is less than what the seller owes the bank.
(MSN.com) – JP Morgan Chase Bank is encouraging delinquent homeowners to sell their homes for less than they owe, letting them walk away from the debt. What’s more, in some cases banks are offering delinquent homeowners cash — typically $15,000 to $35,000 – to do a short sale.
Banks appear to be waking up and making efforts to rid themselves of troubled mortgages. And what’s good for banks is also suddenly looking good for homeowners.
(Bloomberg) — Homeowners with mortgages of more than $1 million are defaulting at almost twice the U.S. rate and some are turning to so-called short sales to unload properties as stock-market losses and pay cuts squeeze wealthy borrowers. Year-end bonuses for people at hedge funds, asset-management firms and insurance companies have fallen year over year an average of 30 percent.
As defaults on the biggest mortgages rise, borrowers are turning to short sales to exit loans that now are larger than the market value of the house. In such a transaction, the lender agrees to accept less than a 100 percent pay off on a mortgage to expedite the property’s sale.
