Arroyo Grande Short Sale Homes: "Just Say, NO!"

By
Real Estate Agent with Bay Osos Brokers

 

If you are looking at a "short sale" home to purchase in Arroyo Grande, but the seller (or borrower) has a 1st trust deed and a 2nd, the likelihood of both lenders working out a solution is slim to none-particularly if a home's value has continued to diminish during the short sale process (typically 6 months or longer).

 

So you know, a successful short sale on a home with both a 1st and 2nd trust deed is entirely contingent on the 2nd trust deed recouping a minimum of 10 percent on the current loan's balance.  Furthermore, the actual close-of-escrow-ratio of homes being sold through a short sale process is less than one percent.

 

Don't confuse REOs or Foreclosures with Short Sales.  For more information on the pitfalls of Short Sales,

Unfortunately it looks like short sales are here to stay for quite some time yet. I don't see any way to avoid them. The success to a short sale is to have a a buyer truly interested in the home in question versus a buyer that is just fishing, looking for great deals. Patience is the key.
