Buying
Short-Sales & Foreclosures |
Buying a short-sale or a foreclosed home
has its drawbacks, but it can also
present a wonderful opportunity for a
buyer. One of the most frequent
questions
that I get from buyers is
"What is the difference between a
short-sale and a foreclosure?"
Here is an explanation:
Short Sales
A short-sale is when a lender agrees to
take less money than is owed on a
mortgage in order to facilitate e
purchase of the property, usually to
prevent the property from going into
foreclosure. Typically a seller has
incurred some type of financial hardship
and is unable to continue making
mortgage payments. The
home is listed on
the market to attract potential buyers
usually at an estimated
value. The listed price is usually
not approved by the lender and buyers
should be aware the actual sales price
may be higher depending on what the bank
is
willing to accept. The banks may require
that the seller submit any and all
offers that are received prior to the
bank's approval. Short-sales take
anywhere from 3-8 months from listing to
closing so if you are in a hurry to find
a home, don't bother.
Points to remember: 1. Until
the bank approves your contract, do not
spend
anything for inspections, appraisal,
etc. 2. Don't stop looking for a
home.
Foreclosures
A foreclosure is a process in which the
lender (aka bank) takes back the home
from the borrower. This process happens
after the short-sale period or to be
more specific, after the home has been
given back o the bank. When you are just
dealing with the bank, the process
typically is much faster and you can
lose
within a matter of weeks!
Not every short-sale or foreclosure will
be a great deal. When you are dealing
with these types or properties you really
need to do your due diligence and have
them inspected by professionals prior to
closing. These homes are in distress
and
may need some major improvements to make
them habitable. |
