Another Short Sale Sold in Tracy, California!

Home Sold in Tracy, CaliforniaJust closed on ANOTHER Short Sale Home in Tracy, California...this time I brought the homebuyer! This 6 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom home with a 1,945 sqft. of living space and lot size of 9,405 sqft. with a pool. With a little love this is going to be a great home for this family!
 
Short Sales can still be a great buy for homebuyers...The Homebuyers were able to purchase this home UNDER market value! Purchased at $300,000 with closing costs paid by the sellers...appraised at $360,000! Talk about Instant Equity! 

It literally took 4 months after the lender received the offer to accept the it. Lenders will much rather close on a short sale than have the home go into foreclosure. When purchasing a Short Sale it is difficult to know the length of time it’ll take the lender to either accept, reject, or counter the offer submitted. These homebuyers were committed to this house because it was in the location that they desired to live in.  
 
What’s great about Short Sales for the homeowners is that the sellers now have the opportunity to get this debt from under them. By completing a short sale in California, the homeowners were forgiven of their debt from the lender and they're will not be any federal or state tax implications. This was clarified through the IRS and California Franchise Tax Board. 

In addition, homeowners will have the opportunity to receive a Relocation Fee of $10,000 for completing a HAFA Short Sale. The seller will also have the opportunity to purchase again within 2 years via a FHA loan. Of course, you will have to stay on top of your credit and possibly work on any other credit issues.

D'Andrea, congratulations to you and your buyer on closing this Tracy, California short sale!!!  Well done, and it is always extra rewarding having the buyer when a short sale closes as you are at the mercy and whim of the bank.

NIce!  Congrats!  Question for you - is the short sale and foreclosure market still a large portion of the Cali market right now?

Thank you Bruce, 

So, true. This is why it's important to have an upfront conversation on the short sale process and to make certain that your clients are aware that there really is not a certain timeframe for the lender to respond. I appreciate your comment. 

 

Thank you Andrew, 

Distressed properties are not a large portion of our market. Still relevant, but we are experiencing more equity sales. Thank you for your comment.
