Waiting is not an option - deal with your short sale situation right now.

If you think you might be facing a short sale situation or foreclosure, you need to take action, waiting is not an option.

Right now here in St. Pete Pinellas County 1/3 of all our under contract and pending listings are short sales. This number is high and I do not see it go down in the near future. What happens if all these pending sales close? Well, if 2 and 2 is still 4 than the prices for real estate will go down even further. So, if you thing about a short sale, if you know you won't be able to make your mortgage payments in the near future, the time to act is right NOW. List your property, do not wait. I today's market time is costing you even more money. I know, and I absolutely understand that this is a though decision and you do not want to make it, reality sometimes is just not pretty. Keep in mind here in St. Petersburg, Florida and all over the country people are faced with the same short sale and foreclosure situation. You are not alone; a lot of Americans are in the same boat. But keep in mind, the longer you wait the uglier it gets, dealing with short sale all the time, we know what it means to you and how difficult it is. But please, act now, get this short sale off your chest, do not wait for foreclosure. The earlier you start dealing with this problem the earlier your future starts. If you have to start all over you might as well do it right now.

Waiting is not an option - deal with your short sale situation right now.
