Fannie and Freddie set time limits for short sales

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Southern Arizona

Short sales have definitely earned the right to be called the oxymoron of real estate.  I mean really, what is short about short sales?  The price, well not when the BPO comes back high, and assuredly not the length of time to get an approval or communication from the lender servicer.

Who decided it should be called a short sale anyways?  Why not a negotiated setllement, which is what it truly is, or perhaps the bane of real estate agents for 2012??  That would've been some foresight!

So the good news, FNMA and FHLMC have committed to specific turn times when it comes to responding to and approving or denying short sale transactions that are backed by fannie mae and freddie mac owned loans.

Too bad the government can not fix the market or the prices. Time for them to leave these markets alone and give them time to heal.
