If you live in the wonderful family-oriented neighborhood of Rancho Ponderosa in Carlsbad and you are "upside down" or that you owe more to the bank than your home is worth, then you may need to consider a short sale.
If you can afford to make the mortgage payments and you plan to stay in your home for awhile, then that is okay. But, if you need to sell, then you sell in a transaction called a short sale. So, if you live in Rancho Ponderosa, Carlsbad, and beyond, and need to participate in a short sale, here are a few tips for you:
Mortgage default is occurring in record numbers in Carlsbad, California. A significant percentage of California borrowers are behind on their mortgage payments. Some of the reasons that borrowers fall behind include unemployment, decrease of income, personal challenges, military deployment, and mortgage interest adjustment.
Now that property values have significantly decreased in San Diego County, many homeowners are facing a challenge. Many have negative equity, which means that they owe the lender more on the mortgage than the property is worth. When this is the case, and the borrower needs to sell--one solution is a short sale.
Not everyone qualifies to participate in a short sale. Most sellers who would like to participate in a short sale must demonstrate some sort of financial hardship in order for the bank to approve the short sale.
If you are facing financial distress or you are having trouble with your mortgage lender, know that you have options.
