A short sale more often than not executed to put a stop to a home foreclosure. Time and again a bank will elect to consent to a short sale if they estimate that it will result in a lesser financial loss than foreclosing. For the home owner, the advantages involve avoidance of having a foreclosure on their credit record and the limited control of the monetary shortage. Furthermore, a short sale is on average faster and less costly than a foreclosure.
In a nutshell, a short sale is nothing more than settling with lien holders a payoff for a smaller amount than what they are due, or more accurately a sale of a balance due, normally on a piece of real estate, short of the full debt amount.
If you or someone you know is at the beginning stages of this process then have them seek the advice of a professional as they can completely avoid having to travel down this path.
