La Mesa Short Sales

La Mesa Short Sales

Thus far in 2013, here are the La Mesa short sale numbers; 41 detached homes have closed escrow, and 19 other types of homes, including condos and mobile homes.  This is down considerably since 2012 when for the same period; there were La Mesa short sale closings for 69 detached homes and 31 for other types of homes.

Although these numbers have decreased in the past twelve months, it is likely that short sales will continue to play a significant role in our real estate market.  According to Zillow CEO, Spencer Rascoff, 44% of U.S. homeowners with a mortgage still owe more than their home is worth.  For the thousands of folks that remain underwater, a short sale might be a good solution.

If a short sale is an option that you’re considering, you’ve probably heard horror stories about how long it takes, and how few sales are ever approved. That’s often because the listing agent doesn’t understand the short sale process, or lacks the necessary experience and negotiation skills. Steele Group Realty has been negotiating short sales for 5 years and has a 95% success rate for successfully selling and closing short sales throughout the county.  Here’s how we take the mystery out of La Mesa short sales and improve your possibilities for a successful close:

• Before listing your home, we determine if a short sale is an appropriate option and if you qualify according to general lender guidelines.
• We research your title report to identify any potential issues and develop a strategy to overcome obstacles.
• If approved to enter our La Mesa short sale program, we aggressively market your home on over 100 high-traffic websites to quickly secure an acceptable offer.
